Newly appointed attorney general of New Jersey, Jeffrey Chiesa, has made it abundantly clear that prescription drug abuse will no longer be tolerated. Recently, Chiesa has unveiled a comprehensive plan to crack down on prescription drug addictions and overdose. The plan includes a system to track every prescription for controlled dangerous substances in this state. It will allow investigators to target patients getting multiple prescriptions from different doctors or filling them at different pharmacies. It will also identify doctors and pharmacists who improperly approve or dispense unusually large amounts of drugs, which could result in fines, jail, or the loss of their license.
Chiesa's warning to prescription drug abusers should not be taken lightly as he has coupled his warning with an aggressive reorganization and expansion of the Division of Consumer Affairs Enforcement Bureau that polices prescription misuse. In addition to replacing the previous Director, Chiesa has added nine investigators and created two new units; the Drug Division and Pharmacy Inspection sections. Chiesa interest in stopping prescription abuse is warranted as New Jersey had over 7,000 admissions to state-certified treatment centers in 2010, more than a 200% increase since 5 years ago,
