In Ohio, the abuse and misuse of prescription drugs [are] second only to marijuana use as the Ohio's most prevalent drug problem. Ohio was late in recognizing the gravity of the prescription drug problem. Part of that was because some of the people who are addicts did not fit a traditional profile of people who have drug problems. They were just average people living in Ohio -- in many cases, working men and women, and in some cases, people who got hurt on the job and started taking a pain prescription. Many times pain prescription addiction has led to heroin addiction.
