Report Pain Clinic Complaints

The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners has been advised by the Sheriff's Office, that a pattern of illegal drug use and distribution has been linked to pain management clinics operating in Hillsborough County. This activity has created an urgent situation requiring immediate action to reduce the threat to the health, safety and welfare of Hillsborough County residents, where 2-5 deaths  occur each week in the County directly attributable to prescription drug use.

Effective May 20, 2010, the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance 10-08E, which requires licensure of certain pain management clinics in order to operate after June 15, 2010. The links on this page provide the background and action taken by Hillsborough County to bring this situation under control.
