DHEC, SLED Team Up to Stop "Pill Mills" in State

The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control and the State Law Enforcement Division are collaborating to combat prescription drug abuse and “pill mills” in South Carolina.

DHEC Director Catherine Templeton and SLED Division Chief Mark Keel are expected to hold a press conference in Columbia today unveiling details about the new effort.

In 2010, South Carolina ranked 23rd in the country for opioid painkiller prescriptions per capita and 23rd for highest per capita in overdose deaths, according to a press release about the event.
