Abuse of prescription drugs , especially among young people, is increasing at an alarming rate. In the past, those who abused prescription drugs often got hooked on them when they were prescribed for a legitimate medical problem. These days, however, teenagers and young adults are raiding their parents’ and grandparents’ medicine cabinets for anything they can throw into a bowl at a “pharm party.” Approximately 15 percent of high school seniors nationwide report using prescription drugs, particularly painkillers such as OxyContin and Vicodin, to get high, and there are more emergency room visits for prescription drugs than for marijuana and heroin combined. Today’s teenagers are earning the sobriquet, “Generation Rx.”

Because these drugs are legal when prescribed by doctors and sold at any pharmacy, teenagers think they are less dangerous than street drugs. However, they have little understanding of the dangers of mixing unknown drugs. Dosage is almost impossible to monitor, so overdose and addiction are common.
