Prescription drug abuse among teens is rapidly on the rise. From traditional drugs like speed to new forms of painkillers, like Oxycontin, kids are finding ways to get these drugs that help sick people but actually do great harm to abusers.

You can use this package to teach teens and adults about the effects of the two categories of prescription medications - stimulants and depressants. Youthful narrators and an appealing graphical style engage the audience as they learn the harmful effects of these drugs on their body, mind, and lifestyle.

A leader's guide will help you facilitate discussion during and after your presentation, and reproducible pre- and post-tests are provided for you to evaluate the effectiveness of your program.

In addition to the pamphlets on stimulants, and depressants, there is a special pamphlet devoted to one of the newest drugs of abuse, Oxycontin. Also included is the What to Say When You Want to Say No pamphlet with its eight methods for avoiding drugs or alcohol.
