Many prescription drugs can be abused, but three main types of prescription drugs - narcotic painkillers, antidepressants, and stimulants - are most commonly abused, and can lead to prescription drug addiction or dependency, and the need for drug rehab.

• Narcotic painkillers:
  • Natural opiates from the opium poppy including morphine and codeine.
  • Semi-synthetic opiates including heroin, hydromorphone (Dilaudid), hydrocodone (Percocet), oxycodone (OxyContin), Vicodin, and many others.
  • Fully synthetic opioids including fentanyl, pethidine, methadone, propoxyphene and many others.
• Central Nervous System (CNS) depressants - "downers" or "tranquilizers" - are prescribed for anxiety and sleep disorders, and include chloral hydrate, barbiturates, glutethimide, methaqualone (Quaaludes), and the new anti-anxiety drugs in the benzodiazepine class - Valium, Xanax, Librium, Ativan, Klonopin, and the date-rape drug Rohypnol and dozens of others.
• Stimulants - "uppers" - are prescribed to treat narcolepsy, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and obesity, and include methamphetamines and amphetamines such as Adderall, Dexedrine and Ritalin, and dozens of other drugs.

Prescription drugs are rapidly becoming the primary drugs of abuse across the nation, and are killing more Americans every year than many illicit street drugs.

According to the Centers For Disease Control, the number of unintentional prescription drug deaths is approaching 25,000 people a year. Prescription drug fatalities have surpassed deaths from fire arms, and are second only to deaths from traffic accidents.

And as the age of prescription drug abuse drops lower and lower - even pre-teens are now using prescription drugs to get high - prescription drug-related crime, ruined lives and the number of people needing prescription drug addiction treatment such as drug rehab have reached epidemic proportions.

Many of these tragic deaths were caused when legitimate patients sold their prescriptions to drug abusers, or when prescription drugs were stolen from patients or pharmacies, or obtained fraudulently from doctors.

Don't let your situation become one of the statistics. If you have a negative prescription drug situation in your life, call Drug Rehab Referral now and speak to one of our experienced staff.
