About this ebook
Drug Diversion Dynamics investigates how legally manufactured prescription drugs fuel the black market and the opioid crisis. It reveals the mechanisms by which necessary medications are diverted for unintended use, leading to misuse, addiction, and public health crises. The book examines physician-related diversion, pharmacy-level vulnerabilities, and patient-driven schemes. For instance, increased prescribing rates and potent opioid medications have significantly worsened diversion in recent decades.
The book argues that prescription drug diversion is a systemic issue rooted in healthcare system vulnerabilities, not just individual malfeasance. Chapters explore over-prescription and fraudulent billing, pharmacy theft and falsified records, and prescription forgery.
By presenting data from public health reports, law enforcement studies, and case studies, the book offers a balanced, evidence-based approach to understanding the motivations, methods, and consequences of drug diversion, providing valuable insights for healthcare professionals, policymakers, and law enforcement.
