Question by Sandra S.: Prescriptions, Addiction & Recovery?
Does it make sense that a Dr. would prescribe Xanax to a patient who he knows has a drug addiction problem?

Also, my friend lives in a house for recovering addicts (supportive living). Is it right for the house to allow this drug too?

Please read questions carefully. I don’t understand why he would be allowed drugs at all.

Best answer:

Answer by helper
a doctor will sometimes give an addict a drug that he/she was addicited too. Every week or month they take the amount and lower it 100mg or more.
