Why Is Prescription Drug Addiction Such a Huge Problem in Miami-Dade County?

Many people who have a prescription drug addiction, or who sell prescription drugs to others so they will get addicted, get the drugs by faking symptoms and going from doctor to doctor for multiple prescriptions. They then use those drugs themselves and sell them to others.

Some other states have a ‘prescription drug monitoring program' that allows pharmacists and doctors to look up a person's prescription drug history so they can see if they've been getting multiple prescriptions so they can refuse or contact the authorities. Unfortunately, that system is not available in Florida so drug dealers can get multiple prescriptions without anyone knowing about it.

Another unfortunate fact is that among the thousands of doctors and pharmacists in Miami-Dade County, there are plenty who are willing to support a prescription drug addiction, or drug dealers, for a few extra bucks.

Seniors and Prescription Drug Addiction  

Seniors with a prescription drug addiction in Miami-Dade County number in the thousands. It is estimated that 1 in 5 seniors in Miami alone are dependant on prescription painkillers, sedatives, tranquilizers or anti-anxiety medications. A large percentage of them also take antidepressants. Many become addicted and need help from a drug addiction treatment center to quit.

Seniors often don't tell anyone about their drugs habits. Those seniors lucky enough to have family around should be watched closely. Check their medicine cabinet and talk to them about it.
