rxnurse....i am in Canada so different regulations apply. but yes, we have a drug monitoring system in place. it is very hard, however, to monitor all the information. it is usually only a DR. that constantly prescribes certain drugs to many, many patients that raises a red flag. that is why so many DR's are reluctant to prescribe opiates on an ongoing basis. however, even at that, certain conditions DO require that they do so. see how hard it is? most people who are becoming trully dependant turn to the streets eventually, as they are given no choice.
