| | Opiate withdrawal |
 | | Withdrawal from opiates is painful but not life-threatening. | | | About 5% of the population is believed to misuse opiates -- including illegal drugs like heroin and legal drugs used to treat pain, such as Oxycontin. | | | Methadone maintenance, however, which involves indefinite use of methadone, is the most effective treatment for opiate addiction according to the Institute of Medicine. |

| | Opiate Addiction |
| | Chronic pain sufferers, surgical patients, sickle-cell patients, and cancer patients seeking relief from pain are prescribed pain medication by their physicians and subsequently become dependent. | | | Opiate dependency was once viewed as a condition with no solution. | | | Recognizing signs of opiate dependency and understanding the consequences will hopefully motivate patients to seek early treatment before the downward spiraling takes away their jobs, their families, their self esteem and ultimately, their lives. |

| | Treating opiate addiction, Part I: Detoxification and maintenance |
| | Prescribing opiate analgesics to these patients is legal, but physicians have to be aware of the problem and try to determine whether the patient is likely to use the drug responsibly. | | | Many patients who take an opiate for pain are physically dependent but not addicted: The drug is not harming them, and they do not crave it or go out of their way to obtain it. | | | Since the 1970s, professionals who care for opiate addicts have reluctantly recognized that many of them will not or cannot stop taking the drug. |
