BMA calls for helpline for people addicted to prescription drugs

Organisation says specific services needed for those addicted to strong tranquillisers used for issues such as anxiety

The British Medical Association (BMA) has called for a 24-hour helpline to be introduced for patients who are addicted to prescription drugs.

The group believes it could help tackle problems created when strong tranquillisers prescribed for short-term use, to treat issues such as anxiety and insomnia, are issued for longer periods.
