Reality Matters: Prescription for Trouble

More kids than ever are abusing drugs they can find right in their own homes. The National Institute on Drug Abuse reports that four million Americans, ages twelve and older are using over-the-counter and prescription medicine for non-medical reasons. The greatest increase is among 12 to 17 year olds. In this program, experts put forth three explanations for the explosion in abuse of legal drugs: easier access, a false sense that these drugs are safe, and a "medicine mindset" in our culture, where kids see adults around them taking medicine for every conceivable pain and sadness. But abuse of these drugs is addictive and dangerous.
