The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) concluded that 52 million people in the US over the age of 12 have used prescription drugs for non-medical reasons in their life. 6.1 million people have abused prescription drugs in the last month alone.
People think that because prescription drugs are not illegal, that they are not addictive either. That is a false assumption.

NIDA also reported that 54.2 percent of people who abuse prescription drugs get them from a friend or relative for free.
