Prescription painkiller addiction affects millions of Americans — and often begins with a legitimate prescription. Medications like Vicodin, Percocet, Norco, Tramadol, and OxyContin can lead to physical dependence in just weeks of regular use. Many of our clients started taking painkillers for surgery, injury, or chronic pain and didn't realize they were becoming dependent. Recovery is absolutely possible.
