Even if most people use medications as directed, abuse of and dependency to prescription drugs is a public health problem for many individuals in the United States. Especially the use of pain killers, CNS depressants, or stimulants as prescribed; the risk for dependency is at an all time high. Health care providers such as primary care physicians, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists as well as patients can all play a role to detect and prevent prescription medication abuse.

There are different ways that individuals can prevent prescription drug abuse. When visiting the physician, provide a complete medical background and the reason for the visit to ensure that the physician knows the complaint and can prescribe the appropriate medication. If a physician prescribes a pain med, stimulant, or CNS depressant, follow the directions for the usage carefully and learn about the effects that the substance could have, especially during the first few days during that the body is adapting to the medication. Also you need to be aware of potential interactions with other substances by reading all the info provided by the pharmacist. Do not increase or decrease dosage or abruptly stop taking a prescription medication without consulting a health care specialist first. For example, if you are taking a pain killer for chronic pain and the medication no longer seems to be effective for the pain, speak with your doctor; do not increase the dosage by yourself. Finally, never use someone else's prescription.

It would appear that something is wrong with the war on substances extremely touted by the United Nations and almost all its member states, particularly the US. The target isn't right. In fact, prescription substances quite legally produced by pharmaceutical companies seem to outsell the "illicit" variety by far. But then maybe, there is something wrong with prohibition - period. Certainly prohibition seems to exacerbate the issue of drug related criminality - or so say the experts. Prohibition is what makes substances lucrative.

Organized crime will fill the demand that cannot be legally filled - and since to do so is lucrative, the bosses will find ways to "stimulate business" by hooking even more souls to the most profitable substances. Pushers do the nasty work.
Compare that with the widespread of controlled prescription substance use CASA is denouncing. Here we have another kind of prohibition - the abolition of alternatives to prescription drugs. But we have pushers at work all the same: Psychiatrists push for pharmaceutical drugging. Psychiatric drug prescription algorithms have been put in place, financed by big pharmaceutical companies.

There is even a program to test every man, woman and particularly the kids in school for their need to undergo drugging at the hands of the state. It's called TeenScreen and is being pushed - still with pharmaceutical money and psychiatric backing. Psychiatrists are the pushers for prescription addictive substance. But everything is legitimate - it's got presidential authorization.
