Prescription Drug Abuse: Teenagers Becoming Addicted to Prescription Drugs
When it comes to teenage prescription drug abuse I think we need to be careful not to make the mistake and point the finger at the doctors, as many of these drugs they prescribe are medical miracles and truly do help people cope with chronic pain and other ailments. What we run into is that these drugs people use for pain and other ailments are very addictive.
That is why doctors try to take so many precautions on issuing these drugs and how they are ministered to those who need them. When I was running a shelter during a hurricane that landed here awhile ago I remember a man going to the hospital day after day with a new pain and excuse as to why he needed certain pills. He was trying to use the tragedy that occurred to get his fix on the pills. But what we see is that someone can move from being completely dependent upon them to being addicted to them.
