Yes, exactly for ADDICTS. However saying it's highly addictive purports that the average person should use EXTREME caution when using oxy for pain relief, when it is quite safe for 99% of the people who get prescribed it. Everyone is using personal experiences but have no fact based evidence other than "I heard it was addictive". My personal experience: my father has substance abuse problems and there's a high familial correlation for addiction. I take oxy at least once a month and have never felt the need to take extra.
