Prescription Abuse by Doctors
So often I receive calls from people that went for help only to find themselves in a worse situation after going to a detox or rehab. Why? Prescription drugs. These people wanted to get OFF drugs only to find themselves on five, six or even nine medications, all of them addictive. How is a person supposed to get out of the trap if the only “help” they receive (from those they are supposed to trust) sabotages their intentions to stay clean?
But the ones that suffer most of all are the children who never intended to be drug addicts but due to a set of unfortunate circumstances found themselves in foster care being drugged, sometimes to death. These unsuspecting kids are being put on addictive, mind altering drugs at an alarming rate and yes, this is a great cause for concern for the drug prevention industry.
How the heck are we supposed to keep up with this onslaught of drug abuse? How are these unsuspecting kids supposed to fight back against the very people that are supposed to help them? And how is this country going to handle drug addiction related issues that result from this barrage of prescription abuse? Economically, this is a nightmare. Spiritually it is a disaster beyond measure.
If you know someone on medications, do a favor to yourself and them, and make sure you do all the research necessary to understand what the prescription is and what it is for.
And to get you started on your research, here are a couple of websites and videos:
