Prescription Drug Abuse
Prescription drug abuse is a growing problem in the US that has serious consequences. There are ways you can be proactive in preventing Rx Drug Abuse
1. Be conscious of where prescription drugs are located in your house and make sure you are in control of how they are accessed. Monitoring the quantities of your prescriptions may allow you to identify if someone is using them unnecessarily.

3. Prescription drugs should never be taken in combination with alcohol or other illegal drugs.
