Crackdown on Pill Epidemic is Gaining Support

Each day, more and more professional and elected officials are joining the charge against curbing opiate addiction in the State, which has been labeled a nationwide pill epidemic.

Supporters are calling for more stringent prescription deadlines and educational tools for physicians who have come to the table to stop this type of dangerous situation from further occurring.

            Taking strong and immediate action by identifying and heavily fining guilty parties will be a terrific start to eliminate this practice once and for all.
