Facts
- Because prescription drugs are legal, they are easily accessible, often from a home medicine cabinet. Further, some individuals who misuse prescription drugs, particularly teens, believe these substances are safer than illicit drugs because they are prescribed by a healthcare professional.
- A recent study found that among 12th-graders, 8 of the 13 most commonly abused drugs (excluding tobacco and alcohol) were prescription or over-the-counter medications, over half of which were given to them or were purchased from a friend or relative.
- During 2010, about 7.0 million individuals in the U.S. were currently using prescription drugs for nonmedical purposes; specifically pain relievers (5.1 million), tranquilizers (2.2 million), stimulants (1.1 million) and sedatives (0.4 million).
- People who abuse prescription opioids are at a higher risk of contracting HIV even if they do not inject the drug; this is due to their drug-altered judgment and decision making.
