While its true that its abuse is limited in terms of availability if the people in question actually need this drug to function then that becomes quite a big problem in itself. It often leads to doctor shopping and/or purchasing black market stimulants.
When you think about it it's a very nasty cycle for someone to spend so many days flying till their script runs out and be crashing/withdrawing/otherwise unable to function without their required medication.
Even when one ceases abuse the damage can already be done. The fact is taking recreational doses will bump your tolerance up MUCH faster than therapeutic ones will, and the tolerance applies to the therapeutic dose as well as the recreational one. So even if someone eventually pulls their head in and tries to do the right thing, they may have difficulties obtaining enough to satisfy their increased minimum required therapeutic dose. If you are supposed to be on 5-10mg a day and spend a few months railing your way through your scripts, I guarantee when you want to go back to therapeutic use you will be needing a lot more than 5-10mg.
I think this is a lot more of a problem for stimulant users as it seems to me that many doctors don't have a problem handing out absurd doses of benzo's where it seems it is difficult to be put on exceedingly large doses of stimulants, this is likely due to the fact stimulants are much harsher on the body. Whatever the reason I think after sustained abuse you would be working extremely hard to find a doctor willing to hand out adequate doses for you, it seems even less likely when you think about the fact pretty much the only way to convey you actually need that much more is by admitting abuse, which could be a quick way to have what little you already have taken away.
