Addicted by Prescription: The Truth About Legal Drug Dependence

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.



They come in small bottles with neat labels. Prescribed by trusted doctors. Approved by regulators. Taken to heal. Yet behind the safety of the word prescription hides one of the most overlooked epidemics of our time-dependence on legal drugs.


Addicted by Prescription exposes the hidden world of pharmaceutical addiction, where ordinary people-patients, parents, professionals-slip from treatment into dependence without ever realizing it. From painkillers to anxiety meds, what starts as relief often becomes a silent chain.


Inside, you'll discover:




How legal medications hijack the brain's chemistry and create dependency


The blurred line between medical use and addiction


Why the system-from doctors to Big Pharma-keeps the cycle alive


Real stories of people who found themselves trapped by the pills meant to save them


Practical insights on prevention, awareness, and recovery


This isn't an attack on medicine-it's a wake-up call to the hidden risks of the drugs millions take every day. Honest, urgent, and eye-opening, Addicted by Prescription shines a light on the truths most don't want to face, but everyone needs to know.


If you or someone you love has ever reached for a pill bottle, this book could change the way you see it forever.
