Over half a million Australians are dependent on prescription painkillers, with addiction commencing in less than 2 weeks of regular use.
Painkillers are as addictive and lethal as illicit drugs such as cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. Prolonged use can create a physiological and psychological dependency.
Prescribed and non-prescribed medications can cause addiction, behavioural changes and side effects, all of which can be managed and treated.
