Prescription Drugs in America
American Prescription Statistics
45.8% of American adults used a prescription drug – legally or not – within the past 30 days. Healthcare specialists generally agree that a high rate of use and availability drives reported rates of prescription drug abuse, addiction, and ultimately, overdose.
Prescription drug abuse is insidious and widely misunderstood. Young adults are the heaviest users, but older and elderly patients are at heightened risk of misuse and addiction.

Understanding PRESCRIPTION DRUG ABUSE
BEFORE WE CAN SOLVE A PROBLEM WE FIRST NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE PROBLEM…
Understanding prescription drug addiction involves recognizing the serious risks associated with the misuse and abuse of medications prescribed by healthcare providers. Prescription drugs, including opioids, benzodiazepines, and stimulants, can be highly addictive when not used as directed. Many individuals may develop a dependence on these medications after prolonged use, leading to addiction. Factors such as genetic predisposition, mental health disorders, and environmental influences can contribute to the development of prescription drug addiction. Treatment for prescription drug addiction typically involves a combination of medication-assisted therapy, counseling, support groups, and behavioral interventions. It’s essential to raise awareness about the potential dangers of prescription drug misuse and to ensure that medications are used responsibly under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
