Prescription Drug Abuse is On the Rise - Get the Facts
The abuse of prescription drugs is a national crisis - one that has state and federal government agencies scrambling yet making scant progress in curtailing. In the last ten years, stimulant prescriptions have seen an increase from 5 million to 45 million, while opiate/opioid prescriptions grew from 30 million to 180 million. Barbiturates and benzodiazepines ("benzos") have also seen dramatic and frightening swells in abuse. The increased availability of these drugs, coupled with general misperceptions regarding the safety of "doctor-prescribed" medications, has led to exponential growth of drug users, as well as drug abusers.
