Healthcare professionals have easy access to opioids, which makes them more vulnerable to abuse of these drugs, but this is not the primary reason for abuse in the greater population. The initial rush lasts about 45 seconds and is not the primary reason for opioid abuse. Peer pressure is not the primary reason for opioid abuse.
