Prescription Drug Abuse on the Rise
By Lamp in Health | 0 comments
Prescription drug abuse is an increasingly growing problem. Sleeping pills are now being abused in addition to the prescription drugs that we’ve heard about for years. The way for the addict to get sober is to go to a drug rehabilitation program. Many people feel that because they do not get the same euphoric feeling from a sleeping pill that accompanies other drugs, that they are not addicted.
However, drug rehab centers are seeing a growing number of these types of addicts. Often it is reported that it is not until they wake up in a very dangerous situation when they finally seek help. One person even reported waking up in a bathtub full of water.
Prescription drugs abuse is on the rise across the boards. Teens, adults and even the elderly are at risk for abuse and addiction. But statistics do show that those who follow the directions do not have as great of a chance of dependence versus those that take extra dosages or take them too often.
