Prescription Drugs
Most people don't think of prescription medication when they think "drug abuse," but the reality is that prescription drug abuse is a growing problem across the country.
Did you know?
- Prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) medication abuse has doubled in the last ten years.
- Many prescription medications are just as addicting as illicit drugs.
- It is against federal laws to obtain prescription medications that have not been prescribed to you by a qualified health professional.
The good news?
According to the 2008 OSU Student Survey, 84.8% of OSU students have never misused prescription drugs!
