Education and mitigation of existing abuse problems is crucial in order to continue managing and prescribing medications for routine and critical health related issues. 

What if someone you know (or don’t know for that matter) goes to your bathroom medicine cabinet to take just a few of the pills out of your unattended bottle of Vicodin that you got  months ago but kept for an emergency...”just in case”?  What about that box of old medicines in the hall closet that seemed different after your teenager was poking around in there last week?

That's where the people who are abusing and becoming addicted to prescribed drugs are getting them! People are finding ways to get drugs without ever needing to acquire drugs from the illicit drug trade.  Why should they when there are piles of pills in most homes that they are willing to try to get high off of?

Prescription overdose death is overcoming automobile accidents as one of the leading causes of death!
