Follow the money. Illicit opiates aren't cheap. If they have a prescription they will run out early. When out they will be irritable with lack of motivation and focus, fatigue, get overwhelmed when stressed and will isolate. This will be followed by opiate withdrawal if a source of opiates is not available which has been described previously. Consider obtaining Narcan if opiate use is ongoing it may save the users life.

Addiction and physical dependence are not the same thing. These are separate processes caused by different problems in different regions of the brain. You can be physically dependent and not be addicted and you can be addicted and not physically dependent. We have confused people by including signs and symptoms of physical dependence in our description of addiction. Addiction usually starts before you ever use a substance.
