Our trained counselors will take the time to go over your options, there is no cost and there is no obligation. All information will be kept confidential.

According to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, current investigations indicate that diversion of hydrocodone products such as Vicodin® and oxycodone products such as OxyContin®, as well as morphine and pseudoephedrine, continues to be a problem in Arkansas. Primary methods of diversion being reported are illegal sale and distribution by healthcare professionals and workers, “doctor shopping” (going to a number of doctors to obtain prescriptions for a controlled pharmaceutical), forged prescriptions, employee theft, pharmacy theft, and the Internet. Demerol® and Dilaudid® were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in Arkansas.

Twenty-five percent of drug-related emergency department visits are associated with abuse of prescription drugs.

Opioid painkillers now cause more drug overdose deaths than cocaine and heroin combined.

Prescription pain relievers are new drug users’ drug of choice, vs. marijuana or cocaine.

DEA works closely with the medical community to help them recognize drug abuse and signs of diversion and relies on their input and due diligence to combat diversion. Doctor involvement in illegal drug activity is rare—less than one tenth of one percent of more than 750,000 doctors are the subject of DEA investigations each year—but egregious drug violations by practitioners unfortunately do sometimes occur. DEA pursues criminal action against such practitioners.
