Montel Williams recalls using his celebrity status to stockpile opioids: 'We can get whatever we want'

Montel Williams discussed how celebrity status enabled him to easily obtain opioids, emphasizing the problematic accessibility of prescription narcotics during his abuse.

As celebrities, we can get whatever we want. I could call the hotel doctor and get a 10-day prescription of any drug I wanted and they would just happily give it to me.

I don't believe any of the opioids have a purpose for long-term use. They're only a short-term use thing. That's what they should be.

The more you take, the less it works. I was at the point where, despite their intended purpose, my need exceeded the medication’s effect.
