Taking medicine is engrained in American culture. Is it any surprise then that adolescents are abusing prescription and over-the-counter drugs in record numbers? In this program, recovering teenage addicts come clean about which medications they abused, when and why they started, and how their addictions severely damaged their lives, while frontline experts from schools and the medical community—a substance abuse counselor, a child psychologist, and an adolescent psychiatrist, to name three—fill in the blanks about the effects of America’s medicine mindset.
