Rite Aid Pharmacy

"My daughter lives in Washington Pennsylvania and is on Subutex. She has tried to get her prescriptions filled at the local Rite Aid only to be told that they did not fill that kind of medicine. They have also refused to order it for her. I do not think that this is fair to my daughter or any other recovered addict who is on this medication. It is like this pharmacy is saying if you're on pain medication I don't mind giving it to you which in return give someone an addiction which is a severe sickness but my daughter is trying to live a normal productive life so that she can be the mother, daughter, wife, and productive law-abiding citizen that she now is which makes it very possible without flaw because of this medication that she has chosen to take instead of drugs. I do not understand where a pharmacy has the right to refuse someone a life-saving medicine and just because they don't seem to see it that way does not mean that it isn't. It makes me wonder does anyone there know an addict or have someone in their family that they love who is living in addiction? They must not because if they did then they would understand why this medication is so important. I think that for someone/place to turn down a person their own prescription that their doctor has prescribed them that they have to be a hard hearted, uncaring person/company with no compassion or understanding at all. I would not advise using this pharmacy for anything. What I would like is for someone there to have to walk a mile in an addicts shoes and see how it would feel to be told that they could not have something that they need to live a normal life."

"It’s sad that this pharmacy refuses to fill a life saving medication. It’s really disgusting and sad. But if I had a prescription for some kind of pain pills or something like that they would fill it. This is so wrong and disgusting."
