Deriving from the statistics it is needless to state that the number of cases has surely increased till date. Misuse of prescription pain medications like OxyContin, Vicodin, Valium, Aderall has always been and still is the growing problem in the United States and California has seen its fair share of fatal prescription drug abuse cases too.

Individuals become addicted to it when they stat using the drugs for a long time and especially when they start taking them in excess proportion than prescribed. The most dangerous side effect of it being the addicts craving for more increased doses of the drugs with each passing day i.e what might satisfy the craving in the individuals today may not suffice tomorrow, the body will ask for a higher dose.
