I'm genuinely curious too, as to why you would not define this person as drug addicted?
Is there a concrete definition?
I don't think this qualifies as drug dependence, especially when they are taking two pain prescriptions at a time, 40 pills or more...and they are gone in two weeks time.
That sounds pretty addicted to me. But, who knows.
