Prescription Drug Addiction

What are some Commonly Abused Prescription Drugs?

Although many prescription drugs can be abused, there are several classifications of medications that are commonly abused.

The three classes of prescription drugs that are most commonly abused are:

  • Opioids, which are most often prescribed to treat pain
  • Central nervous system (CNS) depressants, which are used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders; and
  • Stimulants, which are prescribed to treat the sleep disorder narcolepsy and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

Prescription drug addiction can take anyone by surprise. Frequently, people are prescribed a drug and then slowly, without realizing it, they become addicted to it. Without proper maintenance and a careful watch of your own behavior while taking the drug, this can have some serious and deadly effect.
