Delaware offering assistance to patients of pill-happy doctor

Delaware鈥檚 Division of Substance Abuse and Mental Health is offering help to patients of the doctor accused of over-prescribing medications. Dr. Gregory Villanoba had his medical license and controlled substance registration suspended last week after authorities say he over-prescribed opioids, benzos, and stimulant combinations. Officials say anyone who was being treated by Villanoba may experience withdrawals, and if they do, should seek medical help.
