South Gate, California, residents can be at risk for prescription drug abuse and addiction, which are both on the rise in the surrounding Los Angeles County.
Prescription drug misuse affects 379,000 people in Los Angeles County, which accounts for about 5.2% of the population over the age of 18. Statistically, more men than women tend to abuse prescription drugs, and most people who abuse or misuse their prescriptions are between the ages of 18 and 39. In fact, people who are between 30 and 39 years old are the most likely to abuse drugs in this part of Southern California.1
Even so, adolescents are increasingly abusing prescription drugs instead of other substances, such as alcohol or marijuana. This may be due to how prevalent prescription drugs, like opioid painkillers or anti-anxiety medications, are in most households in the United States.
