    Jim, I salute you for your efforts. 

    As the director of Novus Medical Detox, I daily see the ravages caused by prescription drug addiction created by doctors prescribing it to their patients and then the patients either continuing to obtain it or purchasing these drugs on the internet or the street. Probably the worst of these drugs is OxyContin--legal heroin. 

     

    Pain is real.  I have had it much of my life first from polio and then from two surgeries.  However, there are alternatives to painkillers and they must be tried first.  Let's not treat the symptoms but the cause.

     

    Prescription drug addiction is an epidemic and we must do everything we can to stop it before it overwhelms us. Education is a must.
