Prescription Drug Rehab Providence

As the popularity of prescription drugs soars Providence residents bring the idea of prescription drug rehab back down to earth for discussion.

The diversion and abuse of prescription drugs pose an increasing threat to Providence. Prescription drugs that commonly are diverted include hydrocodone (Vicodin), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), oxycodone (OxyContin, Percocet, and Percodan), and methylphenidate (Ritalin).  The ever increasing popularity of prescription drugs has local officials pondering over the need for prescription drug rehab.

Prescription drugs are diverted in a variety of ways in Providence. Methods include pharmacy diversion, "doctor shopping," and improper prescribing practices by physicians. Pharmacy diversion occurs when pharmacy employees steal products directly from the shelves or through prescription forgeries. Another widely used diversion technique is doctor shopping; a practice in which individuals who may or may not have a legitimate ailment visit numerous physicians to obtain drugs in excess of what legitimately should be prescribed.  In order to assist the community in handling this continuing problem, effective prescription drug rehab, education and addiction treatment is needed.
