The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Health Disorders V identifies “Substance use disorder” as a clinical condition in which an individual engages in the continued use of one or more substances despite detrimental consequences to his or her physical, psychological and emotional health. The disorder also significantly impacts the health of the individual’s relationships and can cause turmoil within families.

The terms “drug addiction” or “substance addiction” are most often used to refer to the abuse of illegal psychoactive substances. However, in recent years there has been a huge increase in the number of people attending drug rehab to help control addictions to prescription pharmaceutical medications.

Often people begin by innocently taking prescribed medications for legitimate physical or mental health issues. Subsequently however, they may fall prey to the addictive process and end up diagnosable as addicts.

Appropriate Intervention

Prescription drug addiction is one of the hardest addictions to spot, as addicts are normally high functioning individuals. However, without appropriate intervention, the lives of these individuals become as dysfunctional as the archetypal “street addict.” Given the progressive nature of addiction, many prescription pill addicts will also go onto abuse illegal drugs.

While rates of illegal drug abuse in Singapore are markedly low, the statistics only account for those who have been arrested, which means there are likely many undocumented cases of drug addiction amongst high-functioning drug users. Harsh drug laws and severe stigmatisation of drug abuse in Singapore has made it difficult for those struggling with drug addiction to seek the help they need. Especially for high level professionals who have developed a drug addiction, either to illegal street drugs or prescription medication, fear of stigmatisation if they seek help is very real.
