• It is only safe to use prescription drugs when they are prescribed to YOU, by a doctor, for a CURRENT problem.
• Children of parents who talk to their teens regularly about drugs are 42% less likely to use drugs than those who don't, yet only a quarter of teens report having these conversations.” It’s important to bring some of these facts home and talk with your parents or another trusted adult about drug and alcohol use. There is no shame in reaching out for help if you or someone you know needs it.
• If you or someone you know is struggling with drug use or addiction, give them the number to the confidential hotline: 1-800-662-HELP (4357). There is treatment for drug addiction, and it works. It’s never too late to reach out for help.
