Every day, 2,500 teenagers use a prescription drug to get high for the first time. They're accessing these drugs in the comfort of home; it can be as easy as opening a cupboard, drawer, or medicine cabinet. The good news - there are steps you can take to help protect your kids from prescription drug abuse: monitor, secure and dispose. This site, created by Abbott and The Partnership for a Drug-Free America, shows you how.It is strongly recommended that you watch the 'What The Experts Say' video on this site. Not only does it tell a powerful story, it is extremely instructive in pointing our ways to deal with issues and the steps of where and how to get help.
Does your "don't do drugs" talk include the ones in the
