When Painkillers Become Dangerous

A Recovery Book

People, it seems, have a history of self-medicating for pain.

The high profile and increasingly widespread cases of prescription pain medication abuse that we’re seeing today serve as the latest chapter in America’s long-standing love/hate relationship with painkilling drugs.

In this fascinating, informative, and timely book, Dr. Drew Pinsky and other leading experts in the fields of addiction and recovery discuss;

  • why people are using drugs such as OxyContin and Vicodin,
  • how people used and abused other painkillers in the past,
  • what makes some people vulnerable to addiction, and
  • how to get help for yourself or a family member in trouble with drugs.
