By Roger Gray


The world we know is advancing every minute. The advancement of technology is just one example of how far we have come in the last twenty years. There are other aspects of life that have been affected with this advancement. Because of technological advancements, the world of medicine can do things that were unimaginable in years past. This is also true in creating drugs that help conditions and diseases. These medicines are known to help improve the quality of life for those that need it. This includes prescription pain pills. Most of them are very addicting and can ultimately ruin someones life. It is very important to educate those taking the medication on drug abuse prevention.

Self-medicating has been an issue in the past few years. Abuse of prescription pills has been around for generations. As the medications get stronger, so do the addictions. Some drugs are known to make addicts out of the strongest people. An important thing to remember is that we must prevent abuse before it even happens.

Controlling pain is essential in living a full life. Pain is often the reason many people are restricted in their day to day activities. It also puts undo stress on the body which, in turn, can cause even more problems. To decrease pain in their patients, physicians will prescribe an opioid based pain reliever.

Pain medications, in general, are addicting. Some are stronger than others so the addiction will be stronger, as well. When the doctor no longer gives the patient the medication, the patient will try to get the pills off the street to help ease the powerful withdrawals.

There are a few main reasons someone will try using drugs, it does not necessarily cause by getting addicted to what the doctor prescribed. One of the most common among young people is by peer pressure. It is very hard for a teenager to tell their friends no when it comes to going along with the crowd.

It is important to talk to your children at an early age. Communication is the key to curbing addictions that can result from abusing prescription and street drugs. Educating young people in the effects of heroin and amphetamines will often give them the strength to decline use. Without knowing the facts, they are left uninformed and helpless against what others will say.

Education and self-worth is the key to curbing drug abuse. Getting young people involved in activities in both the schools and community, will help direct their attention to better things in life and take the attention off other activities that could damage both their bodies and minds.

There are many different places that someone could seek help in preventing drug abuse, especially in young people. The united states government has sponsored programs that train and inform students, teachers, and parents on how to speak them, as well. The most important thing is communication. Without the correct information, many will try and get addicted to dangerous medications.
