Prescription Drugs: Opioids That Kill

By Simon Pierce

Since prescription drugs can be obtained legally and found in medicine cabinets in young adults' own homes, there is a perception that they are not as dangerous as other types of drugs. However, abuse of prescriptions can have hazardous consequences, which readers discover in great detail. Enlightening charts and sidebars augment the discussion of prescription drug abuse, and a list of websites provides resources for those who may already be struggling with this addiction.
