From Test Country Blog:
"Burt Reynolds (star of such films, as Smokey and the Bandit, Deliverance, Cannonball Run and Boogie Nights) has revealed that after a recent back surgery he became addicted to pain killers. Having dealt with addiction to another drug ( Halcion, a sleeping pill) after suffering a broken jaw and a subsequent joint disorder in the late 80s he began to realize he had become addicted to the drugs he’d been given after his back surgery. He then sought treatment at a drug rehab center in Florida and overcame them. The actor urges others in a similar situation to seek treatment rather than trying to resolve it on their own."
