In March 2014, a Miami doctor was sentenced to 6 years behind bars for running what is known as a pill mill. A pill mill is an operation where people can pay for pain medications at a doctor’s office or clinic. Doctors or staffers typically prescribe drugs like methadone, hydrocodone, and oxycodone among others. Pill mills saw a relative rise in popularity in certain areas of the country hit particularly hard by the recession where people lost jobs, savings and homes, and faced painful depression. This has kept the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and state and local law enforcement busy busting illegal pill mills, which feed addictions and can lead to deaths.
