PRESCRIPTION CANNABIS

It’s hard not to at least know someone affected by opioid dependency these days. For some people, dependency can start out as innocently as taking a prescribed narcotic painkiller following a surgical procedure. No one plans on becoming dependent on them, but it happens one way or another. If a patient cannot find a doctor to write them more prescriptions for these painkillers, he or she may resort to buying street drugs such as heroin in order to avoid withdrawal symptoms, which include restlessness and agitation. 


Now, those with opioid dependence can take solace knowing there are plenty of treatment options available to them. One of these options is prescription cannabis. If you live in the Buffalo, NY area, the marijuana doctors at Adult Health DNP can help you determine whether it’s the right option in your case.
