Prescription drug abuse is a serious problem.  Drugs such as vicodin, oxycontin, and methadone can be just as deadly as illegal drugs, and often, easier to get.  Unfortunately, because these drugs are prescribed by a doctor, many people don’t realize just how deadly they can be.  In Rx To Die For, addiction treatment experts will teach how these drugs can destroy your body and brain, and victims who have experienced the devastating affects first hand will tell their stories.  If you know someone who doesn’t know the dangers of prescription drug abuse, show them Rx To Die For.  It could be one of the most important programs they’ll ever see.

 


This video answers the questions:

Are prescription drugs as dangerous as illegal drugs?
How are they different from illegal drugs?
How are they the same?
What effects do prescription drugs have on your brain?
What happens when you mix prescription drugs with other drugs, such as alcohol?
