Prescription Drug Abuse: The Thin Line Between Pain Management and Drug Addiction
Pain management has come under fire in recent years, to the detriment of some who truly could not function or participate in the basic activities of daily living without the help of prescription drugs. High-profile stories of drug addiction and overdose, such as the celebrity stories of Michael Jackson and Anna Nicole Smith, have shone a harsh light on how some doctors prescribe powerful prescription drugs. The backlash effect makes doctors more reluctant to treat pain aggressively, even when it is warranted.
There are doctors who prescribe opiates without regard for the long-term effects. Pain clinics in Florida are the most obvious problem. Known as “pill mills,” these clinics have proliferated to the point that people travel to Florida from out of state, knowing that for a few hundred dollars they can get the prescriptions they want. As opiate deaths have risen in Florida, calls to regulate these “pain clinics” have become more urgent.
The Link Between Teen Drug Abuse and Suicide
During the teenage years, a tremendous amount of chemical changes are occurring. This shift in hormones can result in depression which can sometimes become severe. This is also one of the most challenging times in a teen’s life. Pressures surrounding them can sometimes lead to the possibility of drug abuse. The combination between hormone shifts and drug abuse can lead to a deadly combination.
This concern is present in all states across the U.S. However, Colorado has one of the highest drug use statistics per capita. It is estimated that 11.8% of teens in Colorado have used an illegal substance within the past month. Additionally, suicide is the leading cause of death by injury amongst teens in Colorado. This connection is evident. Preventing drug abuse in your teen can keep your child out of statistics and in your life.
