How to Diagnose Narcotic Abuse
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history, and perform a physical exam. In some cases, your doctor may give you an injection of the drug naloxone hydrochloride. By judging your body's reaction, your doctor can determine if you have over-used or become dependent on narcotics.
