1. Ramesh Gupta Ramesh Gupta United States says:

    The narcotics should be used to control physical pain only for a short time unless the pain is of cancerous origin. After the relief of physical pain, the narcotics continue to ease the emotional pain and this is what causes the addiction. Therefore instead of continuing the narcotics we should pay attention to the emotional pain itself.I send my patients to attend the 12 step program at the Alcoholic Anonymous meetings to reduce their emotional pain.
