The abuse of prescription narcotics is now at epidemic proportions and rising fast. The diversion of prescription drugs is has resulted in Physicians not prescribing much needed pain management for chronic pain patients such as cancer patients, due to paranoia of the Physician of being unjustly disciplined or even losing their licenses. Pharmacies are being robbed of prescription narcotics and some Pharmacists have even been killed. We don't have enough drug rehab Doctors.to deal with the problem. The only solution the government has offered is to go after Physicians prescribing them. Drug dealers are turning to robbing Pharmacies. We desperately need for Physicians with rehab certification, such as subaxone to see at least 1000 patients each rather than 100 allowed now.
