(Health-NewsWire.Net, June 26, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- According to a recent report by the Orange County Register, on June 18th, teens are at risk from the ages of 12-15 to be introduced to prescription medications from unguarded medicine cabinets. According to statistics released by the OC Register, 2,500 teenagers in America begin experimenting with prescription medications everyday. Americans suffer from overdose deaths from prescription drugs as opposed to heroin, cocaine, and ecstasy usage. Teenagers abuse prescription drugs to remain alert for study, or late-night shifts. Many experiment with prescription medications to self medicate, according to Drug Rehab Orlando. Drug Rehab Orlando is an addiction treatment center in Orlando dedicated to providing the apex of drug and alcohol rehab. The treatment facility asserts providing prevention programs and education for youth is among the most effective means of steering teens clear of addiction to opiates and other addictive substances.
The OC Register reports nearly 70 percent of those teens experimenting with prescription drugs originally obtain the drugs from their family members and friends. Most admit prescription medications are easily attained. An associate from Drug Rehab Orlando comments,
"It's not unusual for teens to rummage through medicine cabinets without their parent's knowledge. It's dangerous to leave your medications unattended, even if you don't consider them to be particularly strong. It's the introduction to these substances, and the familiarity teens, and adults alike, develop in the early stages of experimentation that must be avoided at all costs.
"Don't be shy to openly speak about addiction with your family and loved ones. Be completely frank about the possibility of addiction, watch documentaries about addicts, do anything you can to immerse yourself in addiction studies to help educate your community around you."

The center uses both medically assisted drug treatment and holistic healing to achieve balance of the physical and mental aspect of addiction.
