Drug Abuse: Solutions to the “Pill Mills” Which Promote Drug Abuse and Addiction
July 25, 2010 – Clearwater, Fl – Pain management clinics are set up specifically to provide addictive pain medication to their clients. While some individuals with serious injuries may have a valid need for strong pain-relieving drugs, a large number of the customers of these “pill mills” simply need the drugs to satisfy an addiction. Many travel hundreds of miles across state lines to get the highly addictive Oxycontin, Vicodin, Oxycodone, Percoset or other similar drugs.
Law enforcement has recently been aggressively addressing the problem and the news media has given it attention as well. However just identifying the problem and exposing misdeeds does not solve it. If young people formed a strong objection to these sort of drugs through their own self-knowledge at an early age they would be less likely to be drawn into the destructive pattern of drug addiction.
