Rapid OxyContin Detox TreatmentOxyContin detox is the treatment for addiction to OxyContin®, the brand name for the time-release formula of oxycodone, a narcotic analgesic for moderate to severe pain. OxyContin®, which comes in liquid and tablet forms, is used to treat terminally ill cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers as well as relieving postpartum, postoperative and dental pain. However, when the tablets are broken, the time-release mechanism is nullified and the full effects of the drug hit the user quickly. Oxycodone, which can be habit-forming, is an opium derivative and also the active ingredient in the painkillers Percodan® and Percocet®. OxyContin® binds to the pain receptors in the brain so that the sensation of pain is reduced. Since the drug can be habit forming, care must be taken to follow the doctor's instructions when taking OxyContin®. Do not take a larger dose, or take it more frequently, or take it for longer than the doctor has prescribed. OxyContin DetoxSince Oxycodone’s FDA approval in 1995, the illegal
use of OxyContin® has increased significantly, and recent OxyContin-related
deaths have attracted media attention. OxyContin detox can be
difficult because the drug falls into the opiate category (naturally occurring
constituents of opium), causing both mental and physical addiction. Opiates
travel rapidly through the bloodstream to the brain, where they stimulate
opiate receptors, triggering intense feelings of pleasure and reward.
This quick high is followed a state of relaxation and contentment that
lasts for several hours. Concurrently, opiates act directly on the respiratory
center in the brainstem, causing a decrease in the breathing rate of the
user. When OxyContin® and/or
other opiate-derivative drugs are used incorrectly, this breathing
slow-down can be dangerous and even fatal. Are You Addicted To OxyContin?If you or someone you know may be addicted to OxyContin, contact the OxyContin detox experts today and break the chain of opiate dependency.
