0:31Now PlayingWhen you think of a drug addicts, you probably think of people in a dark alley buying their poison from shady characters. The reality is that nearly seven million Americans are abusing prescription drugs — thats more than the number who abuse cocaine, heroin, ecstasy and inhalants combined, and they're your friends, neighbors, coaches and kids, who gain access to narcotics from licensed medical professionals. Robert, 25, was raised in an upscale suburban family and says all he cares about is drugs. His parents say his addiction is destroying their family but admit they have been enabling their son. Can Dr. Phil wake this family up to the gravity of the situation? Then, go undercover inside a clinic and see how easy it is to score these narcotics. Next, ride along as a young man searches for oxycontin to feed his addiction, and see the harsh reality of this addiction in scenes from the documentary The Oxycontin Express. Dr. Phil digs deep into the prescription drug epidemic and tells you what you need to know if you or someone you love is addicted to painkillers.
