About 7 million Americans admitted to using prescription medication for non-medical uses.
Doctors can be considered the largest contributors to prescription drug abuse. Often doctors will write a prescription for a medication without even seeing the patient. Some doctors are involved in what are called "Pill Mills" where for the right price, they will write any prescription, for any amount, to a patient that does not even need the medication.
