Waismann Method Survey Reveals 65 Percent of Women Seeking Opiate,Dependency Treatment Are Mothers

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 10, 2007 - According to The Waismann Method 2006 Opiate Dependency Survey 65 percent of female respondents seeking treatment for opiate dependency have one or more children. Painkillers such as Vicodin, OxyContin, Percocet and Fentanyl were among the drugs cited.

Additional survey results include:

-- Of mothers who reported suffering a dependency to opiates, more than 76 percent were currently married

-- Ninety-four percent said the directions for taking the medication were clear and easy to understand

-- More than 35 percent went to multiple doctors for prescriptions, and approximately 18 percent ordered medication over the Internet

-- Most of the respondents, approximately 35 percent, said they had been dependent for three or more years at the time of treatment

"Women should be particularly cautious about the dangers of becoming dependent on prescription painkillers because these drugs are often prescribed for common and chronic ailments such as back pain, menstrual cramps and mig
