When Prescription Drugs Become an Addiction

Prescription drug addiction is a trap that many people fall into. When a doctor prescribes opiates such as OxyContin or oxycodone to deal with pain from surgery or another medical issue, the patient may not understand how easily he or she can become addicted to the drug. Once a person no longer has access to legitimate refills, he or she may find illegal ways to keep taking the drug.

If you have been charged with a prescription drug offense, the most important step you can take is securing the counsel of an experienced criminal defense attorney. We will carefully evaluate the circumstances of your arrest to determine the defenses that may be available. Many arrests follow a vehicle stop, followed by a search and seizure of drug evidence. If police violated your Fourth Amendment rights, the drug evidence may be suppressed, and the charges may be dismissed.

As part of an effective defense, we will analyze your case for applicability of all programs, including:

• First offender probation
• TASC probation
• Drug court

We will also work to prevent asset forfeitures related to the arrest.
