Finally the US Government is doing something our country has needed for a long time!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Encouraging

In the small town of Celina in Clay County in Tennessee, about 1.3 million opioid prescriptions have been dispensed in the past twelve months at four pharmacies. What is the problem with this number?\u00a0 There are only 7,000 people in Celina, so that is 186 opioid prescriptions for each person in that small town.<\/p>\n

The US Drug Enforcement Agency took notice of this fact. Looking for documentation that explains these prescriptions, the DEA raided the first of the four pharmacies in question, the X Press Pharmacy, at 8 am one morning. The other three would be raided in quick succession.<\/p>\n

Finally!<\/h4>\n

So the US Government is finally responding<\/h4>\n

to the 14,520 drug abuse deaths last year alone<\/h4>\n

that were related to opioid abuse!<\/h4>\n

You can help with this issue also.\u00a0 Just think about how you handle the opioid medications in your home.<\/p>\n
