Prescription Drug Rehab Portland

"Doctor Shoppers" have the city on alert, selling their prescriptions to anyone who will buy, residents of Portland consider the benefit of prescription drug rehab.

In Portland the drug threat posed by prescription drugs, primarily OxyContin and Dilaudid, rivals that posed by heroin. In addition, federal, city, and local law enforcement officials report that methadone diversion and abuse have increased significantly. Some methadone abusers combine the drug with powdered cocaine. Other prescription drugs frequently abused in Portland include Percocet, Ritalin, Vicodin, and Xanax.  As the city wakes up to the problem of prescription drug addiction the need for prescription drug rehab, education and addiction treatment becomes a prevelant issue.

Prescription drugs typically are obtained in Portland through common diversion techniques including prescription fraud, improper prescribing practices, "doctor shopping," and pharmacy thefts. However, some prescription drugs are transported into the city from Canada by local independent dealers in private vehicles or by couriers on foot. Some local independent dealers and abusers purchase prescription drugs, particularly OxyContin, over the Internet and have the drugs shipped to Portland, primarily via package delivery services. 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.
