Re: Prescription Drug Abuse And Addiction Is Becoming A More Common Form Of Substance Abuse Due To The Easy Availability Of Pharmaceuticals From Physicians.

Misuse of prescription drugs means taking a medication in a manner or dose other than prescribed which is totally illegal. The most common is "opioids" which usually treat for pain. When these are used long-term, opioids may lead to drug abuse with physical dependence and addiction and overdoes can lead to a human death.
