The addiction to pain killers is “in our face” today and nice that celebrities take the time to admit and publish their problems and issues too as this 
keeps this in the forefront and the need to address the problems many are having with addiction. The Michael Jackson story of course is all still too fresh as well as another reminder. Just this week the state of California updated their online systems to help healthcare agencies and physician track those who may be abusing pain killers with seeing more than one doctor with multiple prescriptions.

California CURES System to Track Prescriptions ...
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Burt Reynolds checked into a drug rehab clinic "to regain control of his life" after becoming addicting to painkillers prescribed following back surgery, his manager said.
A short statement, issued by manager Erik Kritzer on Wednesday, did not say when or where Reynolds entered rehab.
"After a recent back surgery, Mr. Reynolds felt like he was going through hell and after a while, realized he was a prisoner of prescription pain pills," Kritzer said. "He checked himself into rehab in order to regain control of his life.
"Mr. Reynolds hopes his story will help others in a similar situation," Kritzer said.
