5 Signs You Need OxyContin Rehab
Chances are, if you have a regular OxyContin prescription, then you are physically addicted to the drug. While there are a very few who can take OxyContin for years and not become addicted, most people are not so fortunate. In fact, when you becomes addicted to OxyContin, the ability to stop on a whim almost never works. OxyContin addiction is a medical disease and as such requires medical treatment in the form of OxyContin detox and rehab.
At The Canyon, we can help you determine if OxyContin addiction is hurting you or someone you love and help you take steps to treat the problem medically. We offer a comprehensive OxyContin rehab in southern California, just outside of Beverly Hills.
OxyContin Rehab: Why It's Necessary
The mystery of why some people become addicted to opioid-based pain relievers like OxyContin and others don't is one that has baffled scientist and medical professionals for centuries. There are a multitude of studies that focus on this issue and their findings are basically that addiction is caused by the triggering of the pleasure and reward system in the brain. With regular OxyContin use, your mind and body become reliant upon the euphoria the drug produces. You come to crave that feeling and, at the same time, your brain stops producing the chemicals that naturally make you happy, which means that when you are not on the drug you are even more miserable, physically and emotionally.
Studies also suggest that the tendency to develop opiate addiction may be hereditary and although that does not necessarily mean that a child of an opiate addict will become an addict, it does mean that if you have a history of drug or alcohol abuse of any kind in your family, you are more likely to develop addiction after minimal use of a mind altering substance.
It is for these reasons that OxyContin rehab is often necessary for those who are ready to stop taking an OxyContin prescription.
5 Signs You Need OxyContin Rehab
Recognizing and addressing OxyContin addiction can be very difficult for the person immersed in addiction. While there is no distinct time frame that applies to all who become addicted to the drug, there are signals that may help you determine if you or someone you love needs OxyContin rehab. These include:
- 1. Inability to meet obligations that have been set forth in the home, school or workplace
- 2. Persistent in drug use even with the knowledge that the OxyContin is harming more than helping in both the short- and long-term
- 3. Participating in unsafe behavior without concern for the consequences or for the lack of safety to themselves and others
- 4. The constant desire to continue to use in order to feel that euphoric feeling
- 5. Multiple failed attempts to abstain from OxyContin use
Do You Need OxyContin Rehab?
Do any of the above signs sound familiar? Do you recognize those feelings or actions in yourself or someone you love? The first step to getting help is accepting that OxyContin addiction exists in your life but also that it is a serious problem that won't go away on its own. OxyContin rehab is necessary and available in many forms, both for the OxyContin addict and for his or her friends and family.
