Summary

"In 'Painkillers: Prescription Dependency', you will find out what pain really is--and what it isn't--as well as the history of pain. The book also provides up-to-date information about painkillers and how they are abused. Special attention is given to OxyContin, which has expanded addiction to new groups of people. Treatment methods are also covered--but the best route is never to become addicted!' --Cover, p. 4
