Children at younger and younger ages are being prescribed medications for illnesses such as AD/HD and depression, and more and more adults are taking prescription drugs for legitimate purposes such as pain management and mood disorders. Any stigma surrounding prescription drug use is almost non-existent. As a result, the number of non-medical prescription drug users has reached epidemic levels. It is important for clinicians to understand symptoms associated with different types of prescription drugs, and also be able to accurately assess prescription drug abuse.

This presentation will categorize and discuss the most commonly abused prescription drugs, as well as current beliefs regarding prescription drug abuse and the demographics most at risk for developing a prescription drug problem. This presentation will finish with treatment plans and preventative measures for prescription drub abuse.
