Prescription Drug Abuse - Sober Living Resource

Prescription drugs are one of the most commonly abused drugs in the country. This is a growing problem in the United States and the National Institutes of Health estimated that about 20% of Americans have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons. A typical prescription drug addict uses medications in a way other than for which they were originally prescribed or to an excessive extent. The reason they come to depend on the drugs is to feel better in some way, or experience cravings for them in between doses.

It only gets worse for the prescription drug addict, as negative consequences for the user continue to multiply, including relationship difficulties, problems on the job, or the risk of physical harm from inappropriate use, and more. Other signs of addiction often include mood swings, complaining of vague symptoms to get more medication, the lack of interest in treatment options other than the addict’s drug choice, and a possible history of past drug addiction.
