What you can do about Prescription Drug Abuse

All types of addiction are cruel, but prescription drug addiction is particularly cruel because these drugs were designed to provide medical support for the sick and injured. In many cases, those who are addicted began using these drugs just as directed. Many were not adequately informed of the addictive potential of the drug. They just found they needed more of the drug as time went on and then they could not stop taking it, even if they wanted to.
