Overdosing on Regulation: How Government Caused the Opioid Epidemic~2019

 

 

 

in 2017 American physicians wrote nearly 200 million prescriptions for opioid pain relievers. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) estimates that in 2017, nearly 87 million noninstitutionalized adults in the United States had used prescription pain relievers in the past year. The number of unintentional non-heroin or synthetic opioid overdoses was about 9,000, or 0.01 percent of the population taking prescription opioids. For comparison, a study analyzing the nonopioid antipsychotic drug Clozapine found a sudden death rate of 0.71 percent for those treated with the drug in the sample. The overall mortality rate for prescription opioids is comparable to the fatality risk of one year of daily aspirin use.

In 2015, the DEA reported that the declining availability of prescription opioids compared to heroin and the reformulation of OxyContin had contributed to the accelerating rate of prescription opioid abusers switching to illegal heroin since 2010.

Restrictions push users from prescription opioids toward diverted or illicit opioids, which increases the risk of overdose . Resulting in "more restrictions, more deaths”.

SCAM ALERT SCAM ALERT

 

PROHIBITION FOR PROFITS!

POLITICIANS PRACTICING MEDICINE WITHOUT A LICENSE FOR PROFIT!

IT IS AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN AN ILLEGAL HEROIN AND ILLEGAL FENTANYL FLOODING OF THE USA. NOT A DOCTOR PRESCRIBED OPIOID EPIDEMIC!

FOLLOW THE PROFITS, ADDICTION DRUGS, REHAB CENTERS, DRUG TESTING, DEA ASSET SEIZURES, KICK BACKS TO POLITICIANS IN FORMS OF CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS WITH OUR TAX DOLLARS, ORGAN HARVESTING, ETC.

WHO PROFITS BY RESTRICTING PRESCRIBED OPIOIDS AND DOCTORS PRESCRIBING THEM FOR THEIR CHRONIC PAIN PATIENTS?

 

-Despite frequent robberies and burglaries of pharmacies, doctors' offices, and warehouses where prescription medications are stored and sold, the DEA has focused a troubling amount of time and resources on the prescriptions issued by practicing physicians. It's easy to see why. Doctors keep records. They pay taxes. They take notes. They're an easier target than common drug dealers. Doctors don't shoot back and Doctors also often aren't aware of asset forfeiture laws.

-A physician's considerable assets can be divided up among the various law enforcement agencies investigating him before he's ever brought to trial.

-Over the last several years, hundreds of physicians have been put on trial for charges ranging from health insurance fraud to drug distribution, even to manslaughter and murder for over-prescribing prescription narcotics. Many times, investigators seize a doctor's house, office, and bank account, leaving him no resources with which to defend himself.

-Even if criminal charges are never filed a police dept can still bring a civil action against a suspected medical professional to recover the cost of an investigation.

But The DEA & SAMHSA (The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) Give “Carte Blanche” & “Waivers to prescribe higher doses/limits of controlled substances” to Providers that prescribe “Addiction Therapy Drugs” that are more addictive, controlled substances, tagged the “lifetime therapy drug”, more severe withdrawal symptoms, more side effects and much more expensive!

-Addiction Drug Therapy buprenorphine $115.00 per week or $5,980.00 per year. Suboxone sells for $560 at CVS and $553 at Target for a 30-day supply, according to GoodRx.

-Addiction Drug Therapy naltrexone ( Vivitrol ) – up to $1200 to $1,176.50 per injection $1,176.50 per month or $14,112.00 per year.

-Addiction Drug Therapy Methadone $126.00 per week or $6,552.00 per year.

GO FIGURE!

Politicians Practicing Medicine Without A License For Profit!

Where is the war on "-Unintentional fall deaths: 34,673"

Where is the war on STDs " STD related bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die each year as a direct result of those infections”-CDC 2013

Where is the War on Alcoholic liver disease? Alcoholic liver disease deaths: 21,815

Why the Continued War on Chronic Pain Patients and Their Doctors when Physician Prescribed Opioids deaths: 17,029 (could even be lower ) Per CDC…

Because it is an estimated Multi-Billion Profit Scam…funded mostly by the tax payers.

Would it surprise you to know that the market for the addiction recovery industry is well in excess of $35 billion a year?

That is a 44% increase since 2009. By 2020, spending in estimated to reach $42 billion, representing a jump of another 20%. (my opinion, total profits from the fabricated profit created opioid scam is over $100 Billion…)

How much money can be made on a single patient?

Professional intervention – $2500, plus expenses

Residential drug detox – at least $500 per day, lasting anywhere from 3 to 14 days

Inpatient drug rehab – between $6000 and $32,000, depending upon location and amenities. In fact high-end, “luxury” rehabs can cost over $100,000 for a 30-day stay.

Intensive outpatient programs – up to $10,000 per month

Partial hospitalization programs – between $350 and $450 per day

Sober living facilities – up to $2500 per month

Once-monthly administrations of Vivitrol – up to $1200 per injection

Sober coaches – up to $1900 per day, plus expenses and travel, usually with a five-day minimum

In addition to “addiction therapy Drugs”, is the multi-Billion Frequent Drug Testing Industry with an absurd failure rate. Etc

 

We all know that it was illegal heroin & fentanyl brought in from Mexico and China by the previous administration.
