Painkillers do perform
as advertised; they stop the nervous system from interpreting pain
signals. However, the increase of painkiller drug sales over the past
decade has signaled increased dependence on the medicines. The
addiction can take a dangerous turn, as was the case with Heath
Ledger, Bruce Lee, and Marilyn Monroe. When you have been ordered to
undergo rehab for painkillers, a treatment program can educate you on
the severity of the problem.
