A pharmacy on the Michigan Tech campus has been robbed for the second time in a month. All the thieves take is prescription drugs. Prescription drug addiction is a big problem in Michigan, but it’s the same all over the U.S. at this point. There are probably millions of people who need to get into a drug rehab because of prescription drug addiction, dependency and abuse.

“It starts in high school,” said local police chief, John Donnelly.  “It carries over to college.  We’ve also seen a lot of it in the professional world.”  In fact, it starts a lot sooner than that. Even grade school kids are taking them.

Parents have to be diligent. Did you know that most parents don’t find out their kids are taking drugs until the kids have already been taking them for six months to two years? At that point, they already need drug rehab.

If you know someone taking prescription drugs, it’s best to get them into a drug rehab program early. As with street drugs, the longer a person has a drug problem the less chance there is of them ever recovering.
