Goodness...this happens just about everywhere. Eastern Kentucky is leading the nation in abuse of prescription medication and although I don't live in Eastern Kentucky its still everywhere around here. I could name at least 10 good friends of mine that either currently are or have been addicted to prescription meds. And to take it a step further, I can't name a person who doesn't know someone who abuses prescription medications.
Most of the people I know that abuse prescription meds aren't abusing their own but someone else's meds who choses to sell them for profit. I even know an 87-year old woman that I used to work with who went by the name "Sparkle" to her "younger" friends and would not only sell her Xanax but just give it away to those she liked in hopes of "hooking" them so she could sell more. I also used to work with a lady named Penny who would sell her vicodin from the store we worked in, sometimes to my manager!
