Some things you should now about prescription drug abuse - if the addict cant get enough of what they want from one doc, they will go to TWO docs and get more of what they want. This is called Doctor Shopping. Or they will write or phone in more scrips for themselves, pretending to be the doc's assistant. This is called Prescription Fraud/Identity Theft (2 crimes in one). So just because you see prescription bottles w/ his name on it, doesnt mean it was properly prescribed. If you feel he's overdoesed, call 911.
