Unlike heroin, they don’t come with the same stigma and are far less expensive than other prescription opioids.
South Shore opiate abusers like perc 30s, which are a brand of oxycodone. Perc 30s, according to law police and drug counselors, are contributing to a rise in heroin usage in the area.
Although they aren’t technically Percocet, the powerful dose of oxycodone found in them makes them just as effective at relieving pain as that drug.
“People are dying from them, just like they did from oxy and exactly like they did from heroin,” said Joanne Peterson, founder of the parent support group Learn to Cope, which is opening its sixth location in Quincy. Their lives spiral out of control just as rapidly as they would with any other substance.
Authorities claim that a perc 30 tablet is nothing more than oxycodone in a 30-milligram dose, without any of the extra additives that are typically included in pain relievers. A drug network centered on Perc 30s had been using computer-generated prescriptions to buy drugs from pharmacies all along the South Shore. More than 60 suspected users of the phony prescriptions were nabbed Tuesday as police officers spread out around the region.
