Explore the abuse of over the counter and prescription drugs among teens. The drugs abused range from common cough medicine to prescription pain-killers. For many kids these medications have become the drugs of choice. They carry less of a stigma than so called street drugs and "if a doctor prescribes them how bad could they be"? This is the story of five American teens and what happened when they became addicted. They tell their own stories in their own words from their first time, to rock bottom and the long road to recovery.
