Unless you’re taking a drug your healthcare provider prescribed just for you, you won’t know if it’s safe for your body.![Pill Bottle laying on it's side showing "Open Only If Yours"](/sites/default/files/images/IPDH-Pill-Bottle.jpg)
Opioids, like Oxycodone (also called “oxy”), are highly addictive, and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
Young adults ages 18-25 have the highest abuse rate of any age group for non-medical use of prescription drugs. (And ages 12 to 17 aren't far behind)*
Four out of five new heroin users started with prescription drugs like oxy.
Overdoses kill more people than car accidents.
Taking someone else’s pills is a prescription for trouble.
If you or a loved one are currently experiencing problems with the use of opioids, treatment options are available.
