As I say, I'm sure that there has been some problem, but if these drugs are so bad and there is really a crisis, why are they not completely banned?

They have become a drug of last resort for short term post surgical and terminal patients. Withdrawal symptoms take 1 to 2 days to appear and worsen from there before tapering off. The length of time depends on how long you have been taking them. Google opiate withdrawal to learn more. There is much documentation about this by very reliable sources.
