I have never had a doctor just willy-nilly prescribe oxy or hydrocodone. You kinda have to beg for it if you need it around here. My daughters dental surgeon gave her a prescription for generic Advil, after wisdom teeth removal. I had to call him back to get the real stuff. Then I had to drive over to pick up the paper script, they wouldn’t call it in.  
My dog bit hand got me 16 oxy. No chance of getting addicted around here.
