America`s drug epidemic has been brought heavily to light in recent years and months and focuses heavily on the opiate addiction suffered by many across the country. In many cases this addiction was rooted in long term prescription of pain killers and pain management therapy. Many prescription users have turned to the `Street` versions of these same opiates. Often these choices lead to overdoses and death due to the lack of dosage control. It's a problem that crosses all social classes.
