Burt Reynolds & Painkiller Addiction
By admin | September 25, 2009
Accidental addicts. That is term I have heard for those individuals who have used pain medication as prescribed and end with and physical and mental addiction. Unfortunately, many of these addicts believe the only treatment necessary for them is to detox. If they avoid extended treatment, more often than not they relapse. There is much to learn about addiction to pain meds, for example how the body’s own response to pain is essentially shut down due to the continued use of opiates. A recent Palm Beach Post article was written about Burt Reynold’s experience after back surgery, his addiction to pain medication and his inpatient treatment at the Hanley Center in West Palm Beach. He checked himself in to “regain control over his life” He hopes that his story will help others. He was released after a few days. Hmmm Wonder how its going for Burt.
