Opiate addiction is a dangerous and potentially deadly condition that requires long term treatment and care in order to promote recovery. It is recognized as a brain disorder that is caused by the use of opiate based drugs such as Oxycontin, morphine, oxycodone, opium, heroin and others.
The most addictive prescription drugs are those that contain opiates. These opiate-based drugs include widely-used pills such as hydrocodone (Vicodin), codeine, OxyContin and other painkillers. Many people abuse these prescription drugs -taking them for their opiate effects, and not because they were prescribed by a physician.
