How can you tell if someone has a problem with perscription drugs?
Prescription drug abuse is very hard to detect because a person taking medication in the form of pills has the ability to hide his/her use. A person with a prescription drug abuse problem may act differently or be preoccupied with going to the pharmacy or drug store in excess. Careless prescription drug abusers may leave medical prescriptions lying around and they may go through outrageous numbers of pills in short periods of time. In order to tell if someone has a problem it is often necessary to keep track of the number of pills disappearing each day. Abnormal behavior, specifically behavior related to the medicines being taken may also indicate a growing abuse of the pills.
