Southern California Oxycontin Defense

Elite Los Angeles Drug Crimes Attorneys

Oxycontin, also known as Oxycodone, is medicine typically prescribed for pain relief. It is highly addictive if abused and has similar effects to heroin and morphine, appealing to the same abuse community.  As it is less expensive than heroin, it has become the drug of choice among many frequent users. In recent years there has been an increase in Oxycontin abuse, which has resulted in illegal sales and distribution of this particular drug in California.  It is often associated with other felony offenses such as pharmacy robberies, thefts, shoplifting incidents and health care fraud and results in many overdoses and deaths each year.
