Overprescribing of Prescription Drugs / Operating a "Pill Mill"

Prescription Drug Crime Attorney in Atlanta

Prescription drug overdose has become one of the leading causes of death in the United States. Because substance abuse and deaths associated with prescription medications have become such a problem, law enforcement agencies throughout the country have stepped up efforts to increase prescription drug crime arrests.

Both state and federal prosecutors are also focusing their attention on prosecuting and convicting more doctors and health care providers who overprescribe drugs to patients for no legitimate medical reason. Particular attention is also given to pain clinics that law enforcement refers to as "pill mills."

Investigators and prosecutors often target:

  • Medical doctors and physicians
  • Pharmacists and pharmacist employees
  • Psychiatrists and psychologists
  • Owners of pain clinics / pain management centers
  • Office workers with access to prescription medications
