Oxycontin Addiction Treatment, Rapid Detox and Drug Rehab Centers

Oxycontin, one of several OPIUM derivatives, is an active ingredient in Percodan and Percocet, a narcotic analgesic for moderate to severe pain. Acting as an Opioid, Oxycontin stimulates the Opioid receptors found in the central nervous system that activate responses ranging from analgesia to respiratory depression to euphoria. It is often prescribed to treat terminally ill cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers. In addition, it acts as a reliever for postpartum, postoperative, and dental pain.

Hazardous as a hand grenade, a high potency painkiller, Oxycontin also called by names such as oxy, oxy's, oxies, oxycotton, oc's, killers, oceans, o's, oxycoffins and hillbilly heroin, comes in time-released tablets that last for 6 to12 hours.

Soluble in liquid, these tablets may be crushed and dissolved and the solution injected. Surplus intake of Oxycontin can restrain the respiratory system and at times makes them fall asleep slowing their respiration until breathing stops. One may experience slow breathing, seizures, dizziness, weakness, loss of consciousness, coma, confusion, tiredness, cold and clammy skin.

Oxycontin addiction is quite easy to fall into; one must take care and follow doctor's instructions when taking OxyContin. It is advisable not to take larger doses, or take it for longer than the doctor has prescribed.
With overtime addicted to Oxycontin, it is almost impossible to do alone as the withdrawal symptoms are worse than heroin and last longer. Professional help from a heroin detox center may aid the user from recovering as long as the user is willing to accept and seek professional treatment.

Buprenorphine Therapy

Buprenorphine, an opiate, a derivative of thebaine, lately approved by the FDA, United States, is marketed as the Schedule V parenteral analgesic Buprenex for Oxycontin Addiction treatment. Although Buprenorphine produces typical Opioid agonist effects and side effects, such as euphoria and respiratory depression, its overall effects are less then those of full agonists like Oxycontin and heroin. Patients are regularly monitored, and given suitable doses to stabilize the withdrawal symptom thereby, steadily inducing detoxification.

Behavioral Therapy

Pharmacological therapy alone seldom achieves long-term success, thus effective treatment of drug addiction requires ample attention to all of an individual’s medical and psychosocial actions. Medical treatment should be combined with simultaneous behavioral therapies and provision for social services.

Though there are several approaches to help users from avoiding the use of Meth-amphetamine addiction and modify the patient's thinking, expectancies, and behaviors while increasing skills in coping with various life stressors, however, presently there are no particular pharmacological treatments for dependence on amphetamine.

Several meth-amphetamine recovery support groups provide effective adjuncts to behavioral involvement that can lead to long-term drug-free recovery. Antidepressant medications are helpful in combating the depressive symptoms frequently seen in meth-amphetamine users who recently have become ascetic. Anticonvulsant drug treatments are provided to overdose patients.
