OxyContin Drug Abuse

Pain is no doubt the most common reason for physician consultation in the United States.

Every year, hundreds of thousands visit their healthcare physicians in search for an ailment that will help them cope with the discomforts of their chronic illnesses. Thousands of these patients will rely heavily on the prescribed medication to carry out even the simplest of daily activities. Many will become addicted without even noticing.

OxyContin is generally prescribed to cancer patients and others who suffer from serious, chronic illnesses that generate tremendous amounts of pain that cannot be alleviated with mild pain killers. Due to its powerful effects, OxyContin users undergo withdraw symptoms after being taken off the drug. In the last few years the number of people who abuse OxyContin has gone up and so have the number of patients seeking help at addiction treatment centers.

OxyContin has also been abuse not only as a painkiller medication but also as a new means for young adults to get high. Dissolved in liquids, crushed and snorted like heroine or injected to acquire the equivalent euphoric effects of other illegal drugs,  OxyContin abuse have caused  unnecessary fatalities in the last few years. Either use, initially taken for pain management or as means to get high are in most cases addictive and requires treatment.

If you or someone you know are addicted to OxyContin and can't stop using the drug, please find professional help.
Because addiction is typically a chronic disease, people cannot simply stop using the drug of their choice for a few days and be cured. Most patients addicted to prescription drugs require long-term or repeated episodes of care to achieve the ultimate goal of sustained abstinence of the drug and recovery of their lives.
