As much as we have learned about the dangers of prescription drug abuse and the potentially devastating results that can unfold from addiction treatment centers continue to open their doors to an alarmingly high rate of individuals who have found themselves addicted to drugs like OxyContin and Adderall. When taken for their designated purpose these prescription medications can solve a lot of problems but in the hands of an addict they can create problems that most people could never imagine.
While OxyContin can be needed by a patient experiencing severe pain due to an accident in the hands of an addict it is nothing more than legalized heroin. Of course the cost of prescription medication can quickly become too much for an addict and for an OxyContin addict the natural progression is to turn to the more affordable drug on the street, heroin and many attribute the recent rise in young people dying from overdoses on this phenomenon.Just as OxyContin has its benefits to those who genuinely need it so too does Adderall as it has helped individuals afflicted with disorders like ADHD but just as OxyContin falls into the wrong hands the same is true for Adderall. There has been a dramatic rise in Adderall addiction among college students who often use it as a method to study but quickly find that it takes over their life and like OxyContin addicts turn to the street for a cheaper alternative Adderall addicts will find an amphetamine substitute down the same path and the risks become even greater.
