Opiods like Percocet are very addictive if someone takes them everyday.... or if people take more than prescribed. But if someone is in serious pain,.....it's not a bad thing to take it everyday. It improves their quality of life....so, so what if they are addicted...

They are not "addictive". That's an incorrect medical term. You become "dependent" on them. It's completely different. Chronic pain patients are NOT addicted, but they ARE dependent on the medication in order to function, and must wean off very slowly when they are no longer needed.
