- Retired Pro Football Players Abuse Painkillers
Professional football players often sustain serious injury during practice and games, with many injuries resulting in chronic pain and the need for prescription painkillers. The painkillers used are often highly addictive opioids, causing a dependence problem that persists long after the player retires.
The Pain of Addiction
Vicodin addiction often starts innocently enough. Most people start taking Vicodin or other pain medications after surgery or an injury. But then they can’t stop. They need more to get the same pain relief. They start doctor shopping to get more pills. And the cycle continues until it takes over their lives.
