Narcotic drugs create the same sorts of changes in the brain as alcohol. Thus, alcoholics who use narcotics therapeutically run the risk of reactivating their cravings for alcohol. Those who use them illegally are already in relapse, and can expect their addiction to be back, full blown, within a short time.
That is not to say that pain control should not be used when needed, but it should be administered by health professionals who are thoroughly trained in addiction and who understand its repercussions amongst those of us with special problems.
We further recommend that the painkillers not be controlled by the patient themselves, but by a trusted person who understands the schedule and knows that they are not to bend too much toward the requests of their charge. This is not to say that the patient will consciously ask for too many drugs too soon, but simply to acknowledge that, by definition, a person on painkillers is not in his right mind.
Finally, under some circumstances, a period of detox and (always) concentration on the program of recovery are necessary to complete the cycle and get the alcoholic back on "the road to happy destiny."
