Facts
- In 2010, 2.1% of 8th graders, 4.6% of 10th graders, and 5.1% of 12th graders had abused OxyContin for nonmedical purposes at least once in the year prior to being surveyed.
- Factors fueling prescription drug abuse include lack of education among professionals, overprescribing, doctor shopping, ineffective prescription-monitoring programs, policies that are more reactive than proactive in nature, and society's growing acceptance of pill sharing.
- The prescription opioid OxyContin is used to treat moderate to severe pain through a slow, steady release of the drug. Individuals who use it recreationally may snort or inject it which can increase their risk for serious medical complications, including overdose.
- There are many websites online that sell prescription drugs that are unlicensed, operating illegally, or operate out of foreign countries where medications are unregulated.
