Oxycontin Addiction
Oxycontin addiction has become one of the leading problems in prescription drug abuse/addiction in America today. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has strengthened the warnings and precautions sections in the labeling of OxyContin (oxycodone HCl controlled-release) Tablets, a narcotic drug approved for the treatment of moderate to severe pain. Oxycontin addiction is quickly becoming the number one abuse problem within prescription drug abuse. The main reason that Oxycontin has been so widely abused is due to the fact that those persons seeking an opiate high are crushing the time-released and then snorting the powder, which allows them to get the total milligrams of narcotics into their blood stream almost as fast as seen with injection. This process gives the user the sought-after “rush” that is similar to the feeling that one experiences when doing heroin.
Oxycontin Drug Rehab is necessary to end the physical addiction and allow users/addict time away from the opiate to curb their compulsive physical cravings. With the cessation of Oxycontin use, the addicted person will begin to demonstrate abstinence syndrome within twelve hours, with the most severe symptoms being witnessed between 30-48 hours after the last dose. The incidence of relapse after successful withdrawal is in the ninety percentile, which demonstrates the need for residential care that is specifically oriented to Oxycontin Drug Rehab. Without the application of a thorough detoxification program that eliminates the opiate metabolites from the dormant fat tissue of the user, physical cravings can persist for months and even years after one’s last use.
After being in the alcohol and other drug rehabilitation fields for over thirty
years, I have witnessed a large number of people receive inadequate care and
spend years trying to make up for the damage that was created in short order with
this addiction. It doesn't have to be that way. There are programs that can
restore someone to a very functional state, in fact, they will come out of treatment
with more personal skills and abilities than they have ever had. So, do your
homework and don't settle for anything less than a program that has documented
success. Unfortunately, the majority of programs that are available to the public
are not what is needed. This is an evolving field and it is still in its infancy.
Many programs evolved from an idea that all addiction is a disease, both
chronic and progressive. This means that it lasts forever and gets worse no matter
whether one is using or not. This is categorically not true! This is merely a
testament to the outcome of poorly conceived and administered treatment programs.
It is not unusual to find people that are going through numerous programs over
many years because they believe that this "disease" is chronic and progressive.
However, there are programs available in the US that can even guarantee that
they will end one's addiction. These are the types of programs that you should
seek, no matter what it takes to find them. Anything less is a sentence to more
needless suffering.
