Prescription Drug Rehab Burlington

"Doctor shopping" is becoming a prevelant past time in the area and residents in Burlington feel the need for prescription drug rehab in the area.

The abuse of OxyContin is a new and growing threat to Burlington. The Burlington Drug Task Force reports that the rate of OxyContin abuse is increasing throughout the city, as is the number of OxyContin-related pharmacy burglaries. The widespread use and abuse of these prescription drugs lead to serious addictions that require the availability of prescription drug rehab programs for affected individuals and their families.

The Burlington Police reported that OxyContin abuse became a problem in Burlington during the spring of 2001. Individuals forged prescriptions on several occasions and illegally purchased over 500 OxyContin tablets at local pharmacies. Some local pharmacies that sold OxyContin and other opiates were burglarized. Additionally, the Newport Police reported in June 2001 that OxyContin is increasingly diverted. The police and law enforcement are interested in the idea of prescription drug rehab, education and addiction treatment.
