In the United States, the nonmedical use of prescription drugs is the second most common illicit drug use, behind only marijuana. This article discusses the abuse issues with three of the most widely abused prescription drugs: opioids, central nervous system (CNS) depressants (eg, benzodiazepines), and stimulants (eg, amphetamine-dextroamphetamine and methylphenideate) in the United States. Efforts to deal with the problem are described as well.
在美国，处方药的非医疗用途是第二大常见的非法药物使用方式，仅次于大麻。本文讨论了美国滥用最为广泛的三种处方药的滥用问题：阿片类药物、中枢神经系统（CNS）抑制剂（如苯二氮卓类药物）和兴奋剂（如苯丙胺-右旋苯丙胺和哌甲酯）。同时也描述了应对该问题的各项举措。
