Young adults are especially at risk when it comes to prescription drug abuse. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, prescription and over-the-counter medications account for the most abused drugs among high school seniors, behind only marijuana. In fact, 1 in 9 youth ages 12 to 25 use prescription drugs for non-medical reasons.
