Understanding Prescription Drug Addiction

Prescription drug addiction can occur with medications intended to treat pain, anxiety, or sleep disorders, among other conditions. These drugs often affect the brain’s reward system, leading to dependency both physically and psychologically.

Commonly Abused Prescription Drugs

Some of the most commonly abused prescription drugs include:

  • Opioid painkillers (e.g., oxycodone, hydrocodone)
  • Benzodiazepines for anxiety (e.g., alprazolam, diazepam)
  • Stimulants for attention deficit disorder (e.g., amphetamine, methylphenidate)
