Current investigations indicate that hydrocodone products and OxyContin are the most commonly abused pharmaceutical drugs in the New York area. The most common methods of diversion in New York are: “doctor shopping” (going to a number of doctors to obtain prescriptions for controlled pharmaceuticals), forged prescriptions, and theft. Methadone, benzodiazepines (such as alprazolam and diazepam), and fentanyl were also identified as being among the most commonly abused and diverted pharmaceuticals in New York.

Opiate addiction has led to many illegal practices through both online and retail pharmacy locations and doctors offices. Prescription opiate addiction is one of the fastest-rising categories of substance abuse in New York and throughout the country.

In July of 2007, a consent judgment was filed against BELLCO DRUG CORPORATION of North Amityville, New York, a distributor of pharmaceuticals, for failing to report suspicious orders of controlled substances to Internet pharmacies. Pursuant to the terms of the consent judgment, Bellco has paid a civil penalty of $800,000 and has agreed to surrender its DEA registration, which authorized the distribution of controlled substances.
