Offering opiates to those with the "addictive gene" is a recipe for disaster too. They will take them every time...
Then the addiction is in total control....nothing else...Oxycontin and Pardue. I don't have to read or watch TV....I've seen it first hand. Best back surgeon, best hospital, best everything....except actually managing excruciating post-op pain....for over ten years
.
My older sister will die hoplessly addicted to methadone though...that's her world and it sucks. But she's alive...and doing pretty OK now...but no different than a heroin addict on the street....
I have no answers...none.
