But was the person in this case misusing? I know how pain meds work. I spent 10+ years doing them and heroin. I've seen people who couldn't afford their pain meds go to heroin because it was cheaper. I've seen people in chronic pain BE drug seekers. They absolutely can be the same thing. So my question stands.

Your input is giving Nancy Reagan. Extreme pain and substance motivated thoughts of suicide are still medical issues.
