Georgia Diverted Pharmaceuticals

Diverted pharmaceuticals frequently are abused in Georgia. Oxycodone, primarily OxyContin, was the most commonly diverted pharmaceutical in Georgia in 2002. Hydrocodone (Vicodin), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), and benzodiazepines (Xanax and Valium) also were diverted, but to a lesser extent. Oxycodone is a synthetic opioid analgesic used for relieving moderate to severe pain. It is similar to hydrocodone but is more potent and has a greater abuse potential. Hydrocodone is an opioid analgesic used to relieve moderate to moderately severe pain. Hydromorphone is an opioid used to relieve pain by acting on specific areas of the spinal cord and brain that process pain signals from nerves throughout the body. Benzodiazepines are minor tranquilizers that reduce stress and anxiety, relax muscles, and induce sleep.

The diversion and abuse of oxycodone, primarily OxyContin, represent the most significant pharmaceutical drug threat to Georgia. According to the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency, abuse of OxyContin, also known as Oxys or OCs, is the fastest-growing drug threat to northern Georgia, and law enforcement officials in Macon indicate that OxyContin is the greatest prescription drug threat in their jurisdiction. Diverted OxyContin is becoming increasingly available in central and southern Georgia as well. Law enforcement officials and treatment providers report that OxyContin, once predominantly abused by lower-income, middle-age individuals, increasingly is being abused by middle-class individuals, and the average age of abusers is decreasing. OxyContin abusers crush the tablets to destroy the controlled-release properties, then snort or inject the drug. The resulting physiological effects are similar to those caused by heroin. A 20-milligram tablet of OxyContin sells for approximately $20.

Hydrocodone (Vicodin), hydromorphone (Dilaudid), and benzodiazepines (Xanax and Valium) also are diverted and abused in Georgia, but to a lesser extent than oxycodone. Law enforcement officials and treatment professionals in Georgia report that crack cocaine abusers occasionally abuse these prescription drugs to ameliorate the negative effects of crack cocaine. The Community Epidemiology Work Group reports that benzodiazepines such as Valium and Xanax are now being abused in crack houses in Atlanta.

Caucasian local independent dealers are the principal distributors of diverted pharmaceuticals in Georgia. Retail distributors often sell diverted pharmaceuticals to acquaintances and established customers.
