Centers offering drug rehab in Florida - the pill capital of the U.S. - are probably used to kids with prescription drug addiction problems showing up for treatment. But Florida’s not the only state with a problem: According to a recent news article, Kentucky and Indiana also have big prescription drug problems.  Will drug rehab centers have to open special facilities for kids?

Most drug rehab centers only service those over the age of 18. The two girls in this news story started when they were 13. They’re now 16 and 17, and in rehab.

Really, the future is starting to look surreal: Millions of teenagers addicted to the prescription drugs they find in their parents medicine cabinets, millions turning into drug addicts while they’re still in their teens, and millions needing drug rehab.

What can we do about it? Parents, find out about the drug scene today and talk to your kids about the dangers of prescription drugs. Kids whose parents talk to them about it are 50% less likely to get involved. And lock up the drugs in the house or get rid of them. And, for those kids who already have a problem, get them into a drug rehab program fast.
