Florida’s Pill Mill Problem

Florida’s Pill Mill ProblemPills are easy to come by – and profitable – in the Sunshine State, adding fuel to the fire of our country’s already-growing painkiller abuse problem.

What is a “pill mill”? If you live in Florida, you probably already know.

The Guardian UK recently did a profile on these quickie clinics that hand out prescriptions for powerful painkillers like they were candy. It’s spawned a new trend for people from all over the south to travel to the Sunshine State to score large quantities of drugs like oxycodone or OxyContin.

They call these pilgrims “pillbillies” as they travel from Kentucky, Tennessee, even Ohio, to score. One man The Guardian talked to had driven 16 hours overnight, and he left the clinic clutching a prescription for 180 30 mg doses of oxycodone. While he insisted he hurt his back when he fell off a roof, he showed no signs of injury, even after that long drive.

Is it About Pain Relief or Profit?

The man from Kentucky admits he paid just  $275 to the doctor inside the clinic. He’ll then shell out $720 at a pharmacy for his 180 pills, spending just under $1,000 total. Back in Kentucky he can sell each pill for $30, giving them a street value of $5,400 and allowing Chad a clear profit of more than $4,000.

That’s nothing compared to what the doctors take in. They churn out patients and prescriptions and record speed, with each doctor seeing up to 100 people per day, adding up to more than $25,000 in daily income.

Oxy and other drugs are so easy to get, it’s no wonder there were 30,000 prescription drug overdoses in the US in 2009. The White House recently named the abuse of prescription drugs the US's fastest-growing drug problem.
