A Kingwood clinic owner has been sentenced by the DOJ for selling a large quantity of opioids. The owner allegedly sold prescriptions to individuals posing as providers, who were actually drug dealers. The case is part of a larger nationwide crackdown on healthcare fraud.

This effort has resulted in charges against over 300 individuals. Further details on the sentencing and the nationwide crackdown are available from the source, including the specific number of opioids sold, which totals 3 million.
