Another problem faced in fighting this problem is the pain management clinics that are cropping up at an amazing pace. These pain management clinics are doing more harm than good. They have the authority to prescribe narcotic drugs like oxycontin. These drugs are very addictive and the people make use of these pain management clinics to get hold of these drugs to satisfy their addiction. The pain management clinics sometimes defy the rules and prescribe these drugs for the sake of money. This becomes an easy way to get hold of drugs. Another way that the addicts have started using is doctor shopping. This term is associated with the act of visiting numerous doctors for getting prescriptions of narcotics drugs. These prescriptions are then used for buying many drugs at the same time. These drugs are used to satisfy addiction. The drugs can be for selling or they can be for personal use as well. These problems are gaining momentum day by day and the people are getting caught in this web. The state government has a mammoth task in front of it. These problems are bigger than curbing smuggling because doctor shopping happens at a very personal level. Until and unless a track record of all prescriptions is not kept, the idea of curbing drug abuse will become unfathomable. Keeping a record of prescriptions will result in curbing the straight from the root. This will help in eliminating the problem that has played havoc with numerous lives.
