Then they didn't follow orders.
Even in a nursing home, where many are on narcotic meds, if it's for an acute problem (we have a lot of rehab patients), they initially take the max amount a day, but as time passes, they take less and less, and finally just end up taking Tylenol and no longer need the narcotics.
Sorry, but I don't believe that someone takes Oxycontin for a broken pelvis for a few weeks and SUDDENLY wants to stop taking them and cannot. Nope. Doesn't happen. Most people wean themselves off during the course of treatment. Narcotics should NEVER be stopped suddenly anyway.
