Drug and Alcohol Abuse Facts
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Press Release)
Mar., 2011 -- Prescription painkillers overdoses which had
cases isolated to adults over 20 years of age is now also
a problem for teens in Utah. There are reports of teen prescription
drug abuse in Payson and Cottonwood Heights.
Though Utahan health officials claim that the numbers of prescription
pill deaths has dropped as far as 12% in recent years; many
families are still suffering the detrimental consequences
of having a loved one addicted to pain killers. In fact, according
to Fox 13 news, 10% of high school seniors reported using
prescription drugs on at least one occasion in order to experience
hallucinogenic effects.
Many citizens, worried over the problem in their community
have reached out to their local healthcare practitioners demanding
precise pill dosage, in order to eliminate easy access to
the excess numbers of medication left from a prescribed dose.
Some have even suggested funding educational programs that
instruct people on how and when to properly dispose of their
superfluous prescribed pill killers, in order to prevent it
from falling into the wrong hands. Many families of Utahan
victims are now reaching out to the schools in their communities
in an attempt to create awareness amongst young teens who
may be tempted to succumb to peer pressure and follow this
dangerous prescription pill popping fad that has the potential
of taking their lives and obliterating the lives of their
concerned families.
Many are hopeful that proper public awareness through diverse
channels of education are key to decreasing and hopefully
eliminating the causalities of prescription pill overdose
and usage within the next decade.
