Prescription drugs such as Vicodin are highly addictive.
We're hearing that some homeless who are going to "free," "homeless," or other low income clinics are not getting the immediate referrals they need for diagnosis, and instead are being given a steady supply of muscle relaxants, and/or a variety of prescription painkillers such as Vicodin, Oxycontin, even Morphine. Some of these people are on long waits for X-Rays, MRI's, CAT scans, and other diagnostic tools.
If the homeless person is impatient, they are told to go to EMERGENCY at COUNTY FACILITIES.
