Oxycontin addicts have notoriously been known for employing unique ways in order to obtain their Oxycontin. However some may want to think twice before doing what is known as “doctor shopping”
“Doctor shopping” is when an Oxycontin addict will go through and find several different doctors. Each doctor will be asked for a prescription for Oxycontin, if it is not obtained the addict will simply move on to the next doctor until they get what they want. This is very illegal and law enforcement is starting to crack down on this method of getting drugs.
Officials in Florida performed early morning raids on addicts accused of doctor shopping and they can face some serious jail time as a result. The only real way to combat the Oxycontin epidemic is by effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation. If you or anyone you know is in need of help please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650.
