MySpace Teams with Drug Company to Launch Site Addressing Addiction
by Kristen Nicole
August 14, 2007MySpace has teamed up with a pharmaceutical company to offer an informational profile that�s geared specifically towards educating the masses on the danger of addiction.
The site is called Addiction411, and is directed towards the 16 - 25 year-old demographic in an effort to give information about drug abuse. Providing data on things like drug affects on the brain, how recreational drug use can lead to addiction, and other resources, the site is looking to raise awareness about addiction. This is in response to the increase in prescription painkiller abuse, which is occurring in the same demographic that frequents the MySpace social network. There’s also a section for providing information on opioid addiction treatment options, and a physician locater to help users find treatment for substance dependence. You can also take the online quiz to see if you’re addicted to drugs, and add Addiction411 to your friends list.

Drugs are mostly used among the young population in the world.
Youngsters are more exposed to such abuses because they do not know how harmful effects the drugs have to them. The young generation has to be informed and educated about the effects of drugs.
