the same path leadS to THE SAME PLACE

Heroin abuse is tightly tied to prescription drug abuse.  Almost half of people addicted to heroin are also addicted to painkillers. People are 40 times more likely to be addicted to heroin if they are addicted to prescription painkillers.  Abuse of prescription painkillers is incredibly common — one in 20 Americans age 12 and older reported using painkillers for non-medical reasons in the past year. While it's true that heroin abuse has skyrocketed in the last years, prescription drug abuse is more common.

The number of overdose deaths from prescription pain medi-cation is larger than those of heroin and cocaine combined.

Opiate-related overdose deaths affecting male, non-hispanic whites from 18 to 25 years old increased 286 percent between 2002 and 2013.

Despite what we might think, these events can be early evidence of high probability that full-blown addiction lies ahead.  In a wildly increasing number of todays cases, the substance is HEROIN and a number of other opium derivatives.
