Some of the more common medications to which people may become addicted include anticonvulsants and painkillers, including but not limited to, Valium, Lortab, Oxycontin, Vicodin, Xanax, Hydrocodone and Methadone. Addiction to prescription drugs often involves behaviours such as ‘doctor shopping’ to find a GP that will prescribe certain medications, forging prescriptions and stealing or otherwise illegally obtaining prescription drugs. Similarly to other forms of addiction, addiction to prescription medication can have a hugely destructive impact on physical health, psychological well-being, relationships, career and finances.
