White House Admits That Prescription Drugs Are Easy To Get

Friday, March 26th, 2010

Prescription drug abuse is a growing problem in the U.S. so much so that the White House is getting involved. Additionally the availability of prescription opiates is so great, that it has become one of the biggest drug threats to the country.

For those who are suffering from an addiction to prescription drugs, it is vital to enroll in an effective drug and alcohol rehab, before it is too late. An opiate addiction can be developed after only a few uses, and for most they don’t even realize they have an addiction until they try to stop. Withdrawal symptoms include, nausea, extreme cravings, vomiting, hot and cold sweats and sleeplessness.

Robberies Increasing Due To Addictions

Friday, March 19th, 2010

Pharmacies across the country have been reporting an increasing number of robberies. Addicts are targeting these pharmacies in pursuit of pills like Vicodin, OxyContin, Xanax and Roxycontin.

Prescription drug abuse is becoming such a problem that it is now surpassing marijuana addiction. One of the biggest reasons for this is the belief that pills are safer than street drugs. Additionally, it is often times easier for people to get ahold of these pills because they are so often stored in the medicine cabinet.

The only real way to handle a prescription drug abuse problem is to enroll in a long-term, inpatient drug rehab. There people can handle what it is that causes them to resort to using drugs in the first place. Some rehabs, like Narconon Louisiana, don’t subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead counselors work one on one with clients to figure out what problems drugs and/or alcohol are a solution for.
