Los Angeles OxyContin Rehab

Much like its chemical cousin morphine, OxyContin is an opioid-based drug that is highly addictive no matter how carefully it is prescribed or how meticulously that prescription is followed. A common treatment for chronic pain or acute pain incurred by an accident or a surgical procedure, it only takes a few doses before your body begins to adapt to the presence of OxyContin in your system. This adaptation to the drug signals OxyContin addiction, a condition which is confirmed by the sudden onset of intense physical withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking the drug.

The only way to treat OxyContin addiction is to enter a Los Angeles OxyContin rehab and get a medical detox and therapeutic OxyContin addiction treatment at a drug rehab like The Canyon.

Los Angeles OxyContin Rehab: The Basics

OxyContin addiction treatment takes into account the unique way in which opiates affect the body as compared to other drugs of addiction like crystal meth, marijuana, alcohol, club drugs and others. By binding to receptors in the brain, OxyContin effectively blocks your experience of pain and creates a feeling of euphoria, at least at first. Over time, you require more and more of the drug to achieve the same initial effects. This is yet another sign of OxyContin addiction. When you go to a Los Angeles OxyContin rehab for opiate addiction treatment, you will immediately quit taking OxyContin and receive medical treatment for the resulting withdrawal symptoms, whether it' Suboxone treatment, methadone maintenance or medications prescribed to reduce each individual symptom.

Los Angeles OxyContin Rehab: Do You Need It?

OxyContin addiction is characterized by withdrawal symptoms when you stop taking the drug. If you experience withdrawal symptoms after you stop taking OxyContin, you need a Los Angeles OxyContin rehab. OxyContin withdrawal symptoms include nausea and vomiting, shaking, cold sweats, irritability, insomnia, lack of appetite, bone and muscle aches, diarrhea, stomach cramps and more. These physical manifestations of OxyContin addiction begin within the first few hours after your last missed dose and peak after three days; untreated, they can last for as long as a month or more.

Many question whether or not they can undertake an OxyContin detox on their own without a Los Angeles OxyContin rehab. Though in some cases it is possible, these cases are rare and after only the briefest time spent using an OxyContin prescription. More often than not, an OxyContin detox attempted without medical supervision will fail; most will relapse before its completion. At worst, an OxyContin detox done without the assistance of a Los Angeles OxyContin rehab will end with seizures, heart failure, coma and even death.
