Opioid Crisis Expert and Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics, Dr. John Rosa Encourages Those Experiencing Pain To Insist On Drug-Free Pain Prescriptions
Dr. John P. Rosa, opioid crisis expert and owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics, reminds readers that the opioid crisis is not slowing down and strongly urges those in pain to ask their doctors to prescribe non-drug methods for pain relief.
ROCKVILLE, MD. February 21, 2019: Owner of Accessible Beltway Clinics and opioid crises expert, Dr. John Rosa, posted a new blog on his website entitled, “Ask For A Drug-Free Prescription For Pain Relief,” in which Dr. Rosa tells readers there’s only one way to end to opioid epidemic.
Dr. Rosa points out the fact that, “No one wants to live with chronic pain.” He emphasizes, “The costs are too great. From sleeplessness to irritability to interfering with one’s work, pain can wreak havoc.” He continues, “But, taking a doctor prescribed pill that relieves pain often leads to even more detrimental effects.”
“The pills doctors prescribe for pain relief are killing people every single day,” says Dr. Rosa. He adds, “They are causing otherwise normal, law-abiding people to become drug dependent. In order to keep up with built up tolerance to drug levels, we see people turn to lying and stealing to afford the addiction.”
As Dr. Rosa reminds readers, “This country is in the midst of an opioid epidemic that shows no signs of slowing down. The only way it can be stopped is if people become aware of the problem and refuse to accept prescriptions for pain relief that come in pill form.” “Instead,” he sas, “insist that your doctor give you a drug-free prescription for pain relief.”
