Knott County Banning Pain Clinics
KENTUCKY...
The Knott County Fiscal Court has passed an ordinance banning pain clinics in the county that are not legitimate. Lola Patterson, the director of the Knott Drug Abuse Council, says, while there are legitimate pain clinics, the mass distribution of prescription medications has become an epidemic. The drug council will work with police to enforce the ordinance. If a pain clinic is caught, one of the punishments is a $5,000 fine per day of operation. This ordinance went into effect on January 1st.
