Prescription Drug Trap

So here’s the deal with prescription drugs. Prescription drugs have allowed people world-wide to fight off otherwise deadly or harmful diseases, they are one of this century’s greatest assets, but they have their place. Unfortunately, many Americans are choosing to abuse the privilege of having these drugs available. Some people get caught in the addictive trap and cannot find a way out. If overused or used inappropriately, prescription drugs can be detrimental to health and lifestyle. The fact is that Utah residents use more pain medications per capita than people in any other state in the US, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. It is likely that you or someone you know is dealing with this issue. Here are some resources for help or additional information:
