I started joint a sorority and we partied a lot. I meet a guy named Rick, and we started to date. He was abusive, and drinking helped to stop from hurting too much. It still was not enough. I got out of there, I quit college and broke up with him. He ruined my life and drinking helped so much. Then I got sober, I learned not to touch a drink. Then I meet David and he helped me stop even more. Then I was fired from my new job and we fought all the time. He then finally broke up with me. It brought all that pain back from college and I could not take it no more! (Starts crying) I went to the doctors and got antidepressant pills and it helped but, not enough!

Since I am in the process of majoring in Pharmaceuticals, it will relate to any future encounters of drug abuse in work areas, at home, or even in the hospital. Prescription abuse is uneasy encounter that needs crucial attention to be controlled as much as possible. Prescription drugs will always have an abuser. There will be people that approach the situation with good and bad morals. There are lots of organizations such as Narcotics Anonymous and Alcohol Anonymous support groups; medically, from friends and/or family to help prevent drug abuse. How would an employee, friend, or family member with certain ethical views, of the Utilitarianism, Deontology and Noncognitivism theories, approach and handle such situations. Will it always be a negative outcome? This research paper will explain details in dealing with falsified records and missing pills at home, in the workplace, or the hospital.…

    Over Diagnosed and Over medicated

    Some parents are challenged with finding a cure for their child’s “condition”. Many believe that medication is the only cure to heal their children and are quick to bring them into a world of medicine, instead of looking ahead and thinking about the lasting effects of what it could do to their children. Gup writes, “No one made him take the heroin and alcohol, and yet I cannot help but hold myself and other to account. I had unknowingly colluded with a system that devalues talking therapy and rushes to mediate, inadvertently sending a message that self-medication, too is…

    Prescription Drug Abuse

    prescription Drugs are medications that are prescribed to patients by a doctor to help in many ways, such as relieve pain, treat symptoms of a disease, or to help fight an infection. They are very safe when used properly and under supervision of a physician, yet if used without approval of a doctor they can be very harmful and in some cases could lead to death. During your adolescence years, teens have curiosity which builds up and leads them to experimentation. They pop a pill, get high and then want more. Not only do they ease your state of mind, Increasing numbers of teens have easy access to painkillers through classmates, friends, family members, and even online. Sometimes they can even obtain the leftovers from the family medicine cabinet. After experimenting with prescription drugs, what was once a curiosity can turn into dependence rather quickly and even lead to death. Teenagers feel that taking pills is a cheaper, less harmful way to ease your state of mind. If teens are not educated about prescription drugs and the consequences they withhold than the drug use among teens will only increase and so will the deaths.…

    Prescription Drug Abuse

    Prescription drug abuse has become an epidemic across the United States, destroying and affecting many lives of young Americans. Why do so many people abuse prescription drugs? Many think that prescription drugs are safer and less addictive than “street drugs.” After all, these are drugs that moms, dads, and even kid brothers and sisters use. The dangers are not easily seen, but the future of America’s youth will soon be in severe danger if the problem is not addressed. It will continue to get worse if action is not taken soon. Prescription drugs are only safe for the individuals who actually have prescriptions for them because a doctor has examined these people and prescribed the right dose of medication for a specific medical condition. To fix the rapidly growing issue, I will propose to support programs aimed at preventing drug abuse, to educate parents as well as children about the risks of misusing medicine, and, finally, to enforce punishment for crimes associated with prescription drug diversion.…

However, it’s estimated that twenty percent of people in the United States alone have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons.1 Prescription drug abuse is a serious and growing problem that often goes unnoticed. Abusing these drugs can often lead to addiction and even death. You can develop an addiction to certain drugs that may include: narcotic painkillers, sedatives, tranquilizers, and stimulants.1 Prescription drugs are the most common abused category of drugs, right next to marijuana, cocaine, heroin, and other dangerous drugs.3 The centers for Disease Control and Prevention have classified prescription drug abuse as an epidemic.2 Addressing the prescription drug abuse epidemic could help build stronger communities and allow those with substance abuse disorders to lead healthier, more satisfying lives.2…
