[GRAPHIC=Oxycontin]
The government lists a dozen narcotics Knox allegedly dispensed as being "outside the scope of professional practice."
OxyContin is just one of them. It's the nation's top-selling prescription painkiller. It has also been linked to overdose deaths and soaring crime rates in southwest Virginia. Tonight we conclude our series, "A Dose of Trouble," as Teresa Hamilton considers why OxyContin is so widely abused.

[STAND UP] (( SO WHY DOES OXYCONTIN HAVE SUCH A GRIP ON SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA? THE ANSWER SEEMS TO BE RELATED TO TWO MAIN FACTORS.))

[RUNS= 10]
[OUT Q=two factors. ]
Because OxyContin is available by prescription, it's not as hard as other drugs are to find. But police and health care professionals says the big draw in southwest Virginia appears to be its profitability when sold on the street. A 40- milligram pill costs about five dollars through a pharmacy-- but can be re-sold for eight times that amount.

But implementing such a program would cost Virginia at least a million dollars. In the meantime, Mike Tolbert is paying his own price.

But police and doctors say stories like Mike's are the exception, not the rule, and say until a solution is found... it's a problem that won't fade anytime soon.
