Experts warn party hosts to watch their medicine cabinets this New Year's

New Year's Eve parties are usually a cause for celebration where groups of people come together to commemorate the occasion. However, some experts say that these soirees could lead some to scavenge for prescription medication, which could include teens and children.

Officials from the Pain Management and Palliative Care in Englewood Hospital and Medical Center, which is located in New Jersey say that partygoers with drug dependencies can potentially seek out medicine cabinets for narcotics, anti-depressants, anti-psychotics and anti-anxiety medications.

These medications can include opiates such as Vicodin, which according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 10 percent of high school seniors have abused the painkiller.

Officials from the clinic say that people who throw a party for guests are unlikely to consider prescription drug theft. Meanwhile, painkillers coupled with the consumption of alcohol can cause many side effects such as slow heartbeat and breathing, which could result in death.

Teen boarding schools can help individuals who suffer from opiate addiction by offering drug rehab and education designed to help them improve their well-being.
