If anyone is thinking of throwing their life away, go to Kensington, PA. and walk around for day at the corner of Kensington and Allegheny Ave. and you will change your mind.

People from all walks of life can experience problems with their drug use, regardless of age, race, background, or the reason they started using drugs in the first place. Some people experiment with recreational drugs out of curiosity, to have a good time, because friends are doing it, or to ease problems such as stress, anxiety, or depression.

However, it’s not just illegal drugs, such as cocaine or heroin, that can lead to abuse and addiction. Prescription medications such as painkillers, sleeping pills, and tranquilizers can cause similar problems.
Prescription painkillers are the most abused drugs in the U.S. and more people die from overdosing powerful opioid painkillers each day than from traffic accidents and gun deaths combined. Addiction to opioid painkillers can be so powerful it has become the major risk factor for heroin abuse.

If you or someone you know struggles with substance abuse. Please seek help by contacting SAMHSA (Addiction Hotline 24 hour national helpline) - 800-662-4357
