Navigating Illinois’ Complex Opioid Laws
Illinois strictly enforces its drug laws, especially those involving prescription opioids. We defend cases involving various prescription opioids, including:
- Oxycodone
- Hydrocodone
- Morphine
- Fentanyl
- Other Schedule II and III opioid medications
These include both natural opioids and synthetic opioids, with synthetic drugs like fentanyl playing a major role in the current crisis. Authorities heavily regulate these medications due to their potential for abuse and addiction. The penalties for unlawful prescription can be severe, ranging from very high fines to years in prison, with the potential for even longer sentences in extreme cases.
Facing charges related to opioid prescriptions is a serious matter that requires professional legal representation. Don’t try to face this alone. Our attorneys have years of experience dealing with opioid drug charges and can help you. We’ve helped doctors, pharmacists and everyday people fight all kinds of prescription-related charges.
Understanding The Charges You May Face
One thing that sets us apart is our comprehensive approach to these cases. We understand that unlawful prescription charges can stem from various situations, including:
- Overprescribing
- Prescribing without a legitimate medical purpose
- Prescribing to patients without proper examination
- Forging or altering prescriptions
- Illegal distribution or trafficking of prescription opioids
These charges fall under state and federal statutes, complicating your case. In Illinois, the Controlled Substances Act categorizes prescription drugs into different schedules based on their potential for abuse and medical utility. Opioids like oxycodone and fentanyl are typically Schedule II drugs, which means they’re under heavy regulation due to their high risk of severe dependence and overuse.
We’ll help you understand the specific charges you’re facing and the potential consequences, guiding you through every step of the legal process.
