Earlier this year the media was flooded with reports about a 13-year-old boy, Alex Aiken. Alex died of an Oxycontin overdose in Indiana.
Investigators have pinpointed the source of the Oxycontin. A 14-year-old girl stole the narcotic from a relative and gave it to Alex and his friend. Officials have arrested the girl and have placed the friend in juvenile hall.
This is a lesson for us all. Prescriptions, especially Oxycontin, need to be locked up or disposed of after they are no longer needed.
Oxycontin abuse is one of the most deadliest things a person can get involved in. The only real way to handle this is by enrolling in a drug and alcohol rehab like Narconon Louisiana. Narconon Louisiana does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease, instead clients work one on one with a counselor to figure out what drugs were a solution for. Once that problem is isolated and handled clients no longer feel the need to resort to drugs in the first place.
