]]> Comment on Prescription Drug Abuse Among Teens ‘Growing’ in the US by Scott http://www.sobriety.ca/blog/2009/12/prescription-drug-abuse-among-teens-%e2%80%98growing%e2%80%99-in-the-us/#comment-46 Scott Tue, 08 Dec 2009 16:16:36 +0000 http://sobriety.ca/blog2/?p=45#comment-46 One thing that I don't think gets nearly enough attention is the role that the Internet plays in teen prescription drug addiction. If you ask young people who are enrolled in <a href="http://www.newport-academy.com/teen-drug-rehab/" rel="nofollow">teen drug rehab</a> programs, many will tell you that they got some of the drugs through illicit pharmacies found on the web. How can these places continue to exist? Why hasn't someone stepped in to shut down these horrible businesses?
