document: The Los Angeles County district attorney 's office declined Friday to press charges against several physicians , ending its investigation into allegations that they over-prescribed painkillers to actress Elizabeth Taylor . In a written report , the district attorney 's office said the prescribing practices `` fell below the accepted standard of medical practice , '' but added that the doctors `` were also attempting to deal with her addiction through alternative means of therapy and treatment , and ... their conduct was devoid of criminal intent . '' The report said one of the physicians repeatedly tried to persuade her to enter a rehabilitation clinic but `` these efforts to intervene were strongly resisted by Ms. Taylor until October , 1988 . '' Taylor , 58 , acknowledged a 35-year addiction to sleeping pills and painkillers and has been treated for alcohol and drug abuse at the Betty Ford Clinic in Rancho Mirage .
