Addiction is different for different people. Some people get addicted more quickly than others. The doctor will perscribe the required medication for the particular ailment.
Also most addicts will not say they are addicts to their doctors. I believe they cannot perscribe medication to addicts…but don’t quote me on that.
It is more of the fault of the addict than it is the doctor. He/she gives the tools to make you better….It what the patient does with those tools that is more of the issue
