Another victim of prescription drug abuse

Prescription drug abuse has become a serious problem, especially among teens and young adults. Do whatever you can to prevent your kids from misusing prescription drugs because its an incredibly difficult addiction to kick, much harder than heroin or cocaine. Learn as much as you can about how drug abuse starts, how to prevent it, and how to help a loved one suffering from addiction. Below are some websites with very good information on prescription drug abuse.

Anyone know the name of this song & who sings it? I have placed this video multiple times on all of my blogs that speak about prescription drug addiction. I think this young boy needs to be remembered and have his life as a testimony to save so many others. We each have a purpose and this was his. Now, he his safe and happy again with God.

[janellscakes]

Thank you. That's what I hoped for. :) The song is Mariye by Adom9.

I attended my first city counsel meeting last night, I was the ONLY citizen to question why we are not doing anything regarding the rx abuse in this town it's ignored. They seemed in shock, they asked me to address the school board along side the Mayor, I really don't know what I'm doing but I would love to have someone speak with me that has lost their child to this. Can you give any advice or suggestions in starting a community group? I lost my husband to abuse

[janellscakes]

I'm so sorry about your husband. I'll send you a message.

It is such a tragic story of young boy who could grow up with beautiful future ahead of him and waylaid by drug prescription addiction. This is a post against addiction.

You need to talk to your kids when they are very young.

Oh I am so sorry! I havr seen this over and over and knowing any day its going to happen again!

most addicts dont take the drugs for the high, they take it to alleviate the pain of withdrawal and detox cus they dont know any other way of dealing with it or coping. nobody tells them that. and who is the drug abuser.... the doctor who knowingly prescribes a dangerous poison or his victim, er sorry patient, who puts his trust and belief in the hands of a trained drug pusher, er sorry, doctor!

it seems we all nowadays have lost or are losing a loved one everyday to prescription abuse. i lost my mother two years ago to liver failure do to lortab abuse. and several good friends to overdose. last year i lost a good friends son who overdosed on his 18 birthday at his grandmothers house who is a drug dealer by trade and she gave him the pills then when he fell over she cleaned house before calling a ambulance he was already dead. sad but true. godbless.

@1AmericaLove i help teenagers and many adults get help. first thing you do is find out about all the help centers and detox centers in youre area you can find and what it takes to get a patient in them. this way if someone approaches you for help then you can advise them to a help center to detox. the detox part of getting clean is the hardest it can take from 5 days to a month of the sick part as many call it. also suboxone doctors in youre area. write anytime. godbless.

My son Sean was 22 when he died from an overdose of Ritalin an amphetamine. Many of these pictures remind me of my Sean. He went to a Rehab in Houston the PaRC who kicked him out after 22 days for not buying in. Sean tried a halfway house. He died 2 days later. Now I read from the NIDA that if you don't go to at least a 90 day program their brain doesn't have a chance to heal the damage called hypofrontality. He had something like 62 (20mg) pills in his stomach. Your brother is in paradise now
