Why Do People Abuse Tramadol?

Question by Monica A: Why do people abuse Tramadol?

Best answer:

Answer by Crazeddoglady
Why do people abuse alcohol, cocaine, heroin, and every prescription pain drug available? Because they can. Addictive personalities must be monitored whenever they are prescribed serious pain meds. Unfortunately many of our doctors are less than enthusiastic about doing this. In fact, a small number of doctors are willing to continue to prescribe through greed (if you pay them under the table they’ll prescribe), laziness or because they are so busy they cannot do a good job. The US Veteran’s Admin. is one of the worst offenders and that’s our tax money at work.

Addictions Counseling?

Question by Meggiex: Addictions counseling?
I want to become an addictions counselor, and I already asked what kind of degree I would need, but now I am wondering what colleges/ universities in the US are good to get that degree. At first I wanted to stay local because of my boyfriend, but he is a loser and now I will consider going all the way across the country! Any ideas? I live on the East Coast, but I will consider anywhere. Please let me know of any colleges/ universities with good Substance Abuse/Addictions counseling programs. Thank you!
Anyone have anything?
