"Doctor Shopping" the next big trend in New York City causes the residents of the area to take notice of the need for prescription drug rehab.

Prescription drugs including benzodiazepines (Xanax), hydrocodones (Vicodin), hydromorphones (Dilaudid), oxycodones (OxyContin) methadone, codeine, HIV treatment drugs, steroids, and methylphenidate (Ritalin) are commonly diverted and abused in New York City. In western New York City hydrocodones, benzodiazepines, and codeine combinations are the most popular diverted substances. According to the New York City Police Department, the level of OxyContin use and abuse has increased at a significant rate in its area. Law enforcement agencies are interested in the idea of prescription drug rehab, drug education, and addiction treatment to help reduce the incidence of prescription drug addiction.

Local law enforcement officials in New York City report that the level of Ritalin abuse is increasing. Young individuals typically grind the tablets into a powder and snort it to achieve a euphoric effect. Sometimes referred to as high school heroin, Ritalin usually is sold from student to student but also is stolen from school dispensaries and from individuals with legitimate prescriptions.  As parents in the area take notice of the decline in age of abusers they consider with heavy hearts the need for prescription drug rehab.
