Some prescription drugs are extremely addictive. Parents and doctors can’t explain away an addiction. Sometimes treatment is necessary.

Prescription drugs are very dangerous, and I only take them when absolutely necessary (and never anything that is potentially addictive). Some people do take them recreationally though, and become addicted. They still need help whether they got them from a doctor or not.
