Introduction to Pharmacotherapy
Prescription Drug Abuse
This week we learned about many controlled prescription medications that have the potential to be abused or sold illegally in the free market.
According to the CDC, 44 people in the US die every day from an opioid overdose.
Tell us about someone you know or have read about that has been affected by an addiction to prescription drugs. How did the abuse begin and end?
How do you think our country can stop this growing problem of drug abuse in the United States?
