I believe opioid addiction is not well understood among general practitioners. Here in the UK, they accept as common sense that your patient won't get addicted if they're taking opioids for pain. Similarly for ADHD, when I was started on meds my psychiatrist reassured there was no risk of addiction because I had ADHD. In practice, whenever I spend more than 3 days without them I get terrible headaches.
