It's just a different "drug of choice".
I sorta disagree on that. It depends on how you get addicted. If the dose needed to take care of the pain is sufficient enough you will get addicted against your will. I have a friend who wrecked his motorcycle 2 years ago. Broke every rib except one, front and back. According to the Doc he shouldn't have survived but did. Anyway he was put on a morphin patch for almost a year and then had to be weaned off the thing. When it came time to wean him off his body didn't want to and he himself knew he needed to but life and his body felt so good on the patch, that it was a real struggle for him.
Having had some experience of my own I can say that once the addiction has you in its grip you will break the law in order to feed it. You'll get 'scrips from multiple Docs, buy it on the street, whatever.
