The Dangers of Prescription Painkillers.

The death of music icon Prince has brought this issue to the forefront again.  America has a painkiller misuse epidemic.  According to the most recent available statistics, more than five million Americans abused prescription drugs.  Just take the category of high school seniors.  The most common abused drug after marijuana was some type of medically prescribed prescription painkiller.

What is the target for this type of abuse?  Well, nearly two-thirds of Americans going into treatment for painkiller addiction were between the ages of 12 and 30.  The number may be higher in that these statistics only include publically funded treatment programs.  As you can see our country’s future is at stake here!
