I communicate with people around the country nearly every day who are searching for help for loved ones addicted to alcohol and other drugs. The thing that never ceases to amaze me is how many drugs that the family members are on too, thinking that they’re perfectly normal because their doctor prescribed them. A definite recurring theme on the Drug-Free Alliance website is that pharmaceuticals can be every bit as dangerous and deadly as street drugs, and that the very information that is fed to the doctors who prescribe them is falsified by the ones who make them. This isn’t just true for the heavy prescription drugs like painkillers and anti-anxiety medications, but many other types of commonly used drugs and over-the-counter products as well. A good source fo drug-free information is NewsTarget.com. Check it out, you just might learn something!
