Since instituting a computer system that prevents registration at more than one clinic, Georgia has had no overdose deaths or other indications of drug diversion. Regulations issued earlier this year by the Food and Drug Administration should help. The new rules make it easier to crack down on private dispensers and require clinic dispensers to be registered after screening.
