Prescription Drug Abuse
 | |  |
Addiction to prescription drugs has become a
wide-spread and growing problem in the United
States.
Somewhere at this very moment, a mother agonizes as
her daughter's use of pain medications is destroying her
life. Elsewhere, a young man is writing out his own
prescriptions on a pad he's stolen from a doctor's office;
little does he know the police are waiting for him to pick
up the meds. And believe it or not within the walls of a
well respected hospital, a nurse is stealing her patient's
medications in order to get high she can deal with her
problems. These case scenarios are common place and
growing. Thousands of Americans are abusing or
becoming addicted to prescription drugs.
Chances are you, or someone you know, is struggling
with addiction to prescription drugs. Maybe it’s your
spouse, a relative, a friend, or a casual acquaintance.
Maybe it’s you. Maybe you’re not even sure if the drug
use has shifted from therapeutic to abusive.
You are not alone. Sometimes professional,
medical help is needed at treatment centers. I
offer individual counseling for individuals who
need post-treatment support and counseling. Or,
are worried about a growing problem that has
not reached a critical stage that requires medical
treatment.
