One of the worst drug problems in Pittsburgh is heroin. In fact, about 50% of the deaths related to drugs in the Pittsburgh area are from heroin.

What If Prescription Drug Addiction is My Problem?

Prescription drug addiction and abuse is more common than you might think.

There are people all over the U.S. who are addicted to the pills they're still getting from their doctor, which were originally prescribed after an illness, injury or surgery – even though they no longer need them. When they stop trying to take them they get side effects that make them think they still need the pills. In fact, these side effects in many cases are due to withdrawal

.

When people can no longer get prescription painkillers, for example, from their doctor, they often turn to heroin. It's much cheaper than buying something like OxyContin on the street – without a doctor's prescription – and it's readily available. OxyContin addiction is very common, as is heroin addiction.

Others who use prescription drugs may have started by getting them from their parents' medicine cabinet or from a friend who got them from their own homes. Or they just got them from regular drug pushers – prescription drug addiction has become so widespread and it is so profitable, there are now drug pushers who specialize in them.

Common prescription drug addiction problems including OxyContin addiction, addiction to Percocet, Xanax addiction, Valium addiction and many others.

There is such a thing as prescription drug rehab. Pittsburg facilities offer it, but not all of them. It can be medically quite dangerous to get off prescription drugs so it's important to choose the right drug addiction treatment program.
