Advice on Enrolling Into Treatment
Some substances, like marijuana and prescription drugs, are perceived as harmless by the public for various reasons. Unfortunately, each can become serious hazards depending upon:
- The circumstances in which they are used
- The amount used
- Other drugs used in combination
- The existence of co-occurring mental health issues
Teenagers can develop a dependency upon marijuana that stays with them for the rest of their lives. Patients who have a painkiller prescription can inadvertently overdose when they take the drug with alcohol or another medication. One family in Erie, PA suffered the loss of their father and husband when he became addicted to prescription painkillers after first abusing a legitimate prescription given to him by a doctor. The dangers of abuse of any illicit substance are real, and the cost is far too high to ignore.
