What prescription drugs are being used in San Antonio?

The abuse of oxycodone - OxyContin, Percodan, Percocet, and Tylox - is growing in Texas, but currently hydrocodone – Vicodin - is more widely abused. There is an ample supply of pills from friends, relative, doctors and the Internet.

You can also buy methadone easily - in pills, liquids or as a popsicle. Methadone pills cost about $10, liquid methadone is $.50 to $1.00 per milliliter and the popsicles cost about $33.00. OxyContin sells for $5 to $10 per pill, depending on strength.

Cough syrup containing codeine, called lean, is also abused regularly in San Antonio. It is easy to get a prescription from your family doctor. Cough syrup is a leading cause of burglaries in San Antonio.

As you can see, prescription drug addiction, dependency and abuse are major problems in San Antonio.

These drugs are highly addictive and once they take hold they're very hard to stop taking. And it doesn't take very long – some people get hooked with a few days or weeks.

Getting off them can be painful: some people trying to stop taking OxyContin, for example, have said the pain of getting off the drug was greater than the pain they initially got the prescription for.
