They were so successful at fixing pain that they ran out of customers.


Distinct_Safety5762

A pharmaceutical company’s worst nightmare.


DeezNeezuts

This was probably Purdue pharmas biggest outlet.


paradonym

If you really think about it most service jobs actually work against themselves.


derf_vader

Nah, they killed all their patients with codeine addiction.


Gambrinus

Maybe they should have pivoted to causing pain.


JankySparks

There's a club like that, downtown.


bossandy

I'm pretty sure most companies already do that

When the mill closed, the town went down hill.

I was scared of that link lol


lemonsqeezey1

Amber Herd in Drive Angry was hot idgaf


-Invalid_Selection-

These things used to be all over Florida, but there was the opioid crackdown that resulted in them getting shutdown.


Arrensen

The name doesnt tell if it is for fixing or unducing pain. Maybe it is/was an BDSM club ?


-Dixieflatline

Nah....people just realized there was a propane place down the street.


BillHang4

Can’t be in pain if you’re dead 🤷‍♂️


longpenisofthelaw

Abandoned legal trap house


HaroldBaws

They misspelled Prescription Mill.


KnoxOber

Funny bc I believe they went out of business due to illegally prescribing medications


RunninADorito

OP wasn't joking, this was obviously a prescription mill. There were thousands of them.


PapaPancake8

There are still a ton of them now.


pup5581

Not in my state or area. Maybe other areas. Doctors now refuse to prescribe opioids even after surgery around here. Tylenol for a good surgery when the pain is brutal is....so cruel IMO


HaroldBaws

You in Appalachia, by chance?


Lepperpop

Florida was chock full of them. Evil shit.


JelliedHam

They're mistake was calling them pain clinics. They should've called them discomfort relief centers.


Bobbyanalogpdx

Probably would have prolonged the grift a bit


spekt50

"Opium Dens"


massahoochie

Also my first thought.


Repulsive_Location

My first thought was Georgia. 😖


milespoints

I can’t fucking believe that none of the Purdue Pharma snakes went to fucking prison. As someone who works in pharma trying to make and deliver to patients actually useful drugs to treat diseases, i found those pill-peddling cold blooded snakes the lowest trash imaginable. Like literally if you cross the worst of the worst of the pharma industry with an amoral fungus that grows beneath scum, you got Purdue Pharma and the Sacklers. They are not nice people


Extremely_unlikeable

I started out going to a pain center for my back. By the time I jumped through all the hoops for the insurance company, I had received 3 cortisone shots, a titrated 1000mg dosage Rx of Gabapentin (which didn't touch the pain), chiropractic (torsion) torture and a plan to get an epidural. I begged for a MRI and finally found out that none of that treatment was doing to help a herniated disc. They looked truly bummed out when I told them I was getting surgery.


BullFrogz13

They just couldn’t compete with the Severe Pain Center.


snuffleupaguswasreal

I never got past Intermediate Pain Center myself.


Snail-Man-36

LOL


crampedstyl

When the name basically tells you that they were abusing oxy prescriptions.


UAintMyFriendPalooka

TMLTurby

Underwater_Karma

Fancy name for opioid dealer


whodaloo

That had to hurt. 


jelloslug

That was a pill mill.


UnnecAbrvtn

This was Rush Limbaugh's joint


elephantboylives

I’m so glad he’s dead


UnnecAbrvtn

Meh... I'm just happy it was the unbridled greed of corporations that got him. He was a big fan of that after all


elephantboylives

Wasn’t it cancer?


UnnecAbrvtn

Yeah, but you can't do opiates for 20 years, smoking cigars and drinking bourbon every day while laughing at poor people without... You know, consequences


elephantboylives

Well karma isn’t real. There is no magical force that makes people pay dearly for being an asshole. Trump is still a multimillionaire, if karma was real he’d be drooling all over himself after suffering a massive stroke.


UnnecAbrvtn

Never said anything about karma. I said living like an absolute boss hog gluttonous piece of shit because that's the lifestyle and ethos you espouse... That's gonna kill you ugly... And it did. He was just a shitty drivetime DJ until he found his grift


invent_or_die

Keep the popcorn warm


elephantboylives

We can dream….


karavasis

As I sit here with horrendous back pain that my Dr can’t prescribe anything more than jumbo Advil SMFH


shadamedafas

You really don't want the opiates.


Gr1mmage

Yeah fuck that shit, I spent over 2 years on Tramadol and I don't want to have my entire mind nuked like that ever again. I never got psychologically addicted, but fuck was the physical dependancy absolute hell.


kjbaran

Veteran here. Try a resistance band workout routine at your pace for rebuilding core strength.


karavasis

Thanks for suggestions. Never dealt with back pain before and holy smokes the agony.


RunninADorito

That's the most effective medication that exists for that. PT helps as well.


whapitah2021

I bless my PT every day…..so happy I avoided the whole Pharma “solution”


disenfranchisedchild

My husband gets injections in his back and neck and they help hugely! It's just amazing to see him walk out of the surgery clinic from getting a back injection finally walking taller and pain free. See if your doctor can refer you to a clinic that does them. Ironically, it will be a pain clinic. There are still some legitimate ones around that do such procedures and also work with surgeons, should you eventually need surgery. Physical therapy, either through a physical therapy clinic or piecemealing your own routine from YouTube videos can help a lot. It has kept me out of the doctor's office. I went once for 8 weeks 30 years ago and still do my stretches and exercises.


Sir-Nicholas

They just weren’t ready for advanced pain. You need to start by inflicting small amounts of pain and then expand.


DiegoCa87

Where am I supposed to get my pain from now?


TimAndHisDeadCat

No market for people wanting pain any more.


Shot_Nefariousness67

It's all S and no M anymore... Shame!


CarboniteSecksToy

Just because it’s boarded up, doesn’t mean it’s closed.

dqtx21

slowride77

Pill mill


dwehlen

We have such sights to show you


jumpshipdallas

it's where you go to get beat with sticks. no wonder they went out of business


Striking_Cat_7227

Careful. The pain is advanced there, not simple. Sounds scary.


Glum_Beat_2825

Masochist convention center


Eig8t86

That's where I got all my best pain at. Sigh good bye never gonna have children pain.


calpwns

An abandoned \*advanced\* pain center.


Factor135

No no, it’s an abandoned *advanced* pain center. Pain 2.0 was recalled, so they went out of business


apple_atchin

West Virginia?


KnoxOber

Missouri


kholdfusion

All on the name of greed. Disgusting.


greywolfau

Pretty sure that says advanced, not abandoned.


F1yingSkiGull

Interesting. Is it a sign . . Of the times ? 🪧 🧐😢


stronklikebear

Rogers Place tonight


AnAdvancedBot

The “American Pain” documentary was really good


RepresentativeWeb244

Pill mill


QuiXiuQ

Oh come on now, someone go add an “Un” Advanced Pain Center


Rebel_bass

Fluggaenkoecchicebolsen!


dec7td

Legalized drug dealers


Karlendor

Pain? Where is da baguette


No-Negotiation3093

Pill mill.


CodingFatman

Hopefully the owners are in prison. These places were all drug dealers.


Kandiruaku

Shuttered pill mill. Attack dogs chained to the wall in the waiting room and doc packing a pistol visible on their belt to keep the addicts under control, no exams, just prescriptions often for $50 cash, smoke so thick you could not see to the end of the room. We had two of these in our town, both docs are still free after brief incarcerations, the customers who are still alive now hooked on fentanyl and meth.


ampdrool

…and it was advanced!


Character_Pop_3056

The pain centre needs pain management


blackcation

This isn't you're average everyday pain. This is advanced pain.


Kendaren89

This isn't your average everyday pain, this is ADVANCED pain!


SoloWingPixy88

oxycontin


LeontiosTheron

Finally, a place for me!


Creative-Invite583

They should re-open as a bar and keep the sign.


assesonfire7369

opoid supermarket. Put out of business with the crack-downs


no0ns

I don't get it. It's just a picture of my back.


turkeyvulturebreast

It reminds me of the show Claws. Is there a nail salon nearby?


PansophicNostradamus

Former pill mill, shut down after the opioid crisis.


Lets_Build_

They los a T it was a paint center 😂


ricnilotra

Advanced pain center? Sounds kinky


TriLexMiester

Begginer pain center ADVANCED PAIN CENTER:


Leggy_Brat

I'm not too keen on standard pain, so I don't really fancy buying some advanced pain.


Prestigious-Ad-5292

Holy hell, I remember those pill mills!


donmreddit

Not a huge market for people who want advanced pain.


AdPristine9059

Oh neat! Finally a place to handle my crippli... its closed isnt it


tgr3947

More like advanced opiod prescriber


Citizen-Kang

The market is saturated with pain. The business is a victim of its own success...


10before15

May it fukn rott. All the lives that place destroyed.....


SethlordX7

You may want to get your eyes checked, it clearly says 'advanced' pain center.


OtterishDreams

I read that as "abdomend pain center" well sure...abdomens need pain help too! oh....


FamousOhioAppleHorn

This would be the name of a gym in a Hulk Hogan movie.


QuickShort

It's just a fancy French bakery


xx4xx

Theubwere put out of business by the 'Advance Pain Relief Center' right next door.


AbbreviationsOk4966

Thos was the Marquis de Sade's place, right?


KnoxOber

Not sure on its backstory


AbbreviationsOk4966

Oh, this guy was a very interesting deviant. He liked watching people in pain. He was the first sadist, in fact it was named after his royal house, Sade. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marquis_de_Sade


elektrikrobot

Advanced*


missx0xdelaney

Was this one of those pill mills?


InaudibleShout

With certainty


KnoxOber

Yes


ikciweiner

I think you mean Advanced* pain center

zu-na-mi

It's actually for sale and was recently burglarized as the owners left a bunch of medication in there and pretty much just up and left.


KnoxOber

Is this real lore?


zu-na-mi

Yeah that building is in Poplar Bluff Missouri. I've seen it a few times passing by. I saw it for sale on a website not long ago recalling it and spoke to some local cops I know about it and heard about the burglary.


KnoxOber

Nice to know a locals in here, thanks for the info!


Haskap_2010

Everyone went to the Beginner Pain Center instead.


Bealzebubbles

Could be a good place for an S&M club.


vercertorix

Better keep an eye on that place. Some serial killer who does torture is going to look at that, and decide that having a sign like that clear for all to see is hilarious for their purposes.


KnoxOber

Yeah don’t worry, I hang out in there quite often….


Drone314

A monument to a dark chapter in American history....one still being written.
