Facts
- Prescription Drugs are big business with high profits. The ongoing creation by major international drug companies of expanded markets and new markets for antidepressants include new "alleged diseases" such as "social anxiety disorder" for which Paxil is being promoted heavily in advertising; Prozac as Serafem to treat "mood imbalances associated with premenstrual syndrome" and since Prozac has gone off patent, the drug manufacturer, Eli Lilly has received approval to market an once-weekly version of the drug (based on its "new coating").
- The rate of individuals aged 18 to 25 who said they had used prescription drugs for non-medical purposes in the previous month fell from 2 million in 2010 to 1.7 million in 2011.
- A successful way to prevent the spread of future prescription drug abuse problems is by monitoring prescription drugs in every state. This can be done using the government's prescription drug monitoring programs to reduce doctor shopping and drug diversion.
- After marijuana and alcohol, prescription and over-the-counter drugs are the most commonly abused drugs among individuals aged 14 and older in the U.S.
Transitional housing is a very useful resource for people in Sparr who have graduated a drug rehabilitation program but still require time to completely re-acclimate to regular life and the real world. For someone who has used drugs and alcohol to self medicate and particularly for long term addicts, the world can seem like a daunting place now that one has to endure life without the use of drugs or alcohol. Transitional housing in Sparr offers a safe atmosphere where individuals who are in this phase of the drug rehab process can slowly grow to be at ease with the idea of rebuilding their life without drugs and on their own. While in transitional housing those in recovery can continue to participate in one-on-one and group counseling as needed to help them along, and also to find stable employment and housing so that they have a good shot at remaining abstinent and being to have a productive and happy life.
