Dr. Nicholas Atanasoff: The Growing Problem of Prescription Drug Abuse


As Dr. Nicholas Atanasoff knows, addiction and abuse of opioids has reached almost epic proportions in communities throughout the country. The Founder and Addictionologist at Addiction Outreach Clinic, Dr. Atanasoff understands this problem to be due, in large part, to the considerable increase in painkiller prescriptions written by doctors over the past decade plus, particularly those scrips involving opioids. 

Because opioid prescriptions have skyrocketed, mainly because of the social acceptability they’ve garnered through an extensive, multi-tiered marketing campaign initiated by pharmaceutical companies, opioids can become easier to acquire and abuse, leading to a significant increase in the negative effects resulting from that abuse. Compounding the problem is the relatively recent advent of fentanyl, a highly-powerful synthetic drug now being used to lace heroin and leading to a number of deaths in recent years.

For those facing an uphill battle with opioid addiction and its life-altering effects, there is hope. Dr. Nicholas Atanasoff and the AOC team provide proven professional opioid addiction treatments that can help bring sobriety and control back to your life.
