In 2010, some 90 percent of the Oxycontin prescriptions in the U.S. were written in Florida, where “pill mills” were springing up at record rates. Overdose deaths were skyrocketing, and the state had become a magnet for addicts from all around the country. The next year, reacting to public outcry, the state cracked down on pain clinics prescribing opioids like oxycodone and hydrocodone. Now, five years later, pain pill abuse is down, but heroin use has soared. And the resurgence of heroin, a street drug with a sinister reputation, has led some to ask if the crackdown actually made things worse.
