Many people get addicted to rx pain pills really through no fault of their own. I went through same thing myself. Was medical malpractice, what these doctors did to me. I finally put myself through cold turkey withdrawal. Was really, really bad. I could have died. I belonged under doctor's care. And it is really tough. Sometimes nobody is to blame. It is monsterously cruel in my mind to withhold narcotic pain meds from a person who has very bad pain. And as far as I am concerned if they are going to be in severe pain for life, taking care of the pain should be the priority, not whether or not this will cause them to become an "addict." The country has swung wildly over this issue in relatively short period of time. JFK hurt his back and spent rest of his life on narcotics. So did Liz Taylor. Many others. Now what happens is that people who really need these meds are denied, and people who don't really need them end up with them. In your son's case, the docs should have recognized when enough was enough, and your son was becoming addicted without needing the meds for pain any more. And is other aspect of narcotic pain pill addiction that is just beginning to be acknowledged -- Anyone on these drugs long-term develops a lower pain threshold. Things that should not hurt them at all now hurt them very badly. It happened to me. Then the doctors would say I was just faking the pain to get the drugs. Was a nightmare. Like I said before, was malpractice on their part that put me in the position, but I am the one who had to deal with the consequences. I am fine now. If I go to a dentist and they give me pain pills, I don't want more and more or anything like that. I am normal again, and my pain threshold is actually on the high side.
Anyway, my prayer for you is that your son does not have to suffer the consequences of something he is not to blame for. (Not to say if he does not break the addiction, he won't be to blame for that. In the end, it does not really matter whose fault it was.) I pray the judge will be given great wisdom and understanding from God and that things will work out so that your son can get rid of the addictions and get on with his life. I pray in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Your sister in Christ, Lamb.
