I've seen a lot of TV shows on the problems of Oxycontin, Percocet, Benzo's, etc. They seem to mention that this is an epidemic in places. I haven't seen it out in the open where I live though. Perhaps it's an "underground thing" or something that is just accepted in suburbia?

It's a problem next door, my sister-n-law has been a drug addict since she was 16, she's now 42. Anything she can get her hands on, I don't know how she just conned a therapist into believing she is depressed and into giving her a prescription, she's already abusing it.
And don't come back and say maybe she is depressed, cause she ain't. She tells therapists she just sits inside at home all day crying, WHAT A BIG LIE, she's running the roads with her friends. She's rarely at home, always gone, she even told her probation officer she couldn't work because she had to stay at home and take care of her 12 yr old son, ANOTHER BIG LIE, he's always with me. I take care of him, if not, she never knows where he is.

I'm in West Virginia and we have major problems with prescription abuse. The methadone clinics that are out to make a profit are making things even worse.

As a nurse, I see it at work more than anywhere, we had a physician that was so hooked on opiate's, that he landed up in Rehab! He is a great person, but he said it helped him stay awake foe the long shifts he put in daily. I have NEVER done any mind altering medication or smoked..anything.

I can tell you its an underground thing where I live and a big problem. I got caught up in it for awhile. These pills are as addictive as heroin. Only people don't think of them as heroin because they arent shoving a needle in thier arm.

The person I knew addicted to pain killers was great at hiding/disguising it.
