Florida is notorious for the pain clinics that often prescribe more pain meds than any other state. Because of this, many are at risk for prescription fraud because of their prescription problem.

All controlled substances in the state are separated into schedules or classes, which are meant to indicate risk or addictiveness. Most common prescription drugs are found in Schedule II, III and IV including Codeine, Morphine, Oxycodone, Methadone, Ketamine, and Xanax.
