Perscription Drug Addiction?
Question by Mark O: Perscription Drug Addiction?
How do you tell if someone has a prescription drug addiction? Is it similar to an illegal drug addiction? I have a loved one who I am very concerned about. They take prescription drugs for medical purposes. But they affect them the same way that illegal drugs affect others. They take 35 every day. They are a nurse. They can give a medical justification for every one of them. But the way they react at different times makes me wonder. Their emotions go up and down. They have the same reactions as a drug addict. Can someone give some advice on helping my loved one.

How Many Years Was It That Jon Bon Jovi Was Addicted to Drugs And/or Alcohol?
Question by : How many years was it that Jon Bon Jovi was addicted to drugs and/or alcohol?
I say it was 20 years ago, my friend insists it was before the “Bon Jovi” heyday. I saw him some years back in a television interview blaming his record producer for getting him hooked on drugs. Also, why does the media bury this story but demonize the EXTRAORDINARY talents like the great Whitney Houston; Diana Ross, Steven Tyler, Liza Minelli for their drug or alcohol problems. Every time they are caught with drugs or alcohol, it it is front page news in all the tabloids. The media tore into Michael Jackson for his prescription drug addictions, and even for lesser celebrities like Art Garfunkel or Bon Jovi’s own bandmate Richie Sambora, their drug use and personal problems are common knowledge. Why is the media so bent on portraying Jon Bon Jovi as a squeeky clean, reputable person?
No one gave back more than Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston Helped many people with her charities as well.
Bon Jovi Fan… Its ok, you can still like Jon Bon Jovi, even if he was once addicted to drugs. But the fact is I heard him say it in HIS OWN WORDS, in a TV interview about 10 years ago. I dont what it is with Jon Bon Jovi fans, people only want to crucify Richie Sambora for his addictions, but they deny Bon Jovi’s personal problems. Kind of like the Frank Sinatra fans who deny Frank’s Mafia ties, or that Frank’s mother ran an abortion ring (both documented facts).

Answer by jeffh3000
In a 2003 and 2005 report, the national institutes of health showed some pretty bleak figures.
They estimated that in 2005 that 48 million Americans, 20% of population, had abused prescription drugs.
Based off the 2002 survey, just that year, 4.7 million people used prescription drugs “non-medically” for the first time. This means new abusers of prescription medications on top of exister abusers.
Data for *new abusers* of drugs that year broke down as following:
* 2.5 million used pain relievers
* 1.2 million used tranquilizers
* 761,000 used stimulants
* 225,000 used sedatives
