New Release Put Out by Dog Ear Publishing Prescribes Life-Saving Treatments for Painkiller Addiction; Book By Jana Burson, M.D.

Pain Pill Addiction, published by Dog Ear Publishing, explores prescription drug addiction and its costs to society. “The insurance industry estimates that diversion of prescription medication to addicts and abusers costs medical insurers about $72.5 billion per year,” the author writes. Addiction has another cost: ruined relationships, health and careers. But medically assisted treatment such as methadone or buprenorphine offers real hope.

Cornelius, NC, October 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Addiction is a powerful force, both on those who become hooked and on the people who care for them. Searching for a way to recover from the misery of addiction is a way of life for many of the two million prescription pain pill addicts in the United States. Whether their addiction began after they were prescribed painkillers for medical reasons or they simply experimented with pills to get high, the physical and mental reality remains – they are addicts and want to stop, writes the author. Inpatient treatment isn’t the only route to get clean, and the author details outpatient options for addicts who can’t – or won’t – join an inpatient program.

Pain Pill Addiction, published by Dog Ear Publishing, explores prescription drug addiction and its costs to society. “The insurance industry estimates that diversion of prescription medication to addicts and abusers costs medical insurers about $72.5 billion per year,” the author writes. Addiction has another cost: ruined relationships, health and careers. But medically assisted treatment such as methadone or buprenorphine offers real hope. The author details how and why treatment with those medications works, as well as their pros and cons. This well-researched book, which includes a comprehensive index, offers information on how to tell when someone is addicted, and it puts a human face on the complexities and stigma of addiction and its treatment.
