The Need for OxyContin Detox

OxyContin, an opiate derivative that is a highly addictive and very powerful pain reliever, has chemical similarities to other pain relievers, such as Percocet, due to the high amount of oxycodone in the drug. While it is immensely effective in mitigating pain experienced by terminal patients and those suffering from extreme pain, OxyContin is a highly addictive drug and not to be taken lightly. Unfortunately, there have been hundreds of deaths as a result of accidental overdoses from OxyContin.

If you or someone you know has become addicted to OxyContin, you need an OxyContin detox center like The Canyon. At The Canyon, we provide OxyContin rehab, treatment and aftercare services to those who are suffering from OxyContin addiction, starting with a safe and comprehensive OxyContin detox.

How OxyContin Detox Works

OxyContin detox is an automatic physical response to the lack of OxyContin in the system when your body is physically addicted to the drug and accustomed to receiving a certain dose or amount at regular intervals. When you stop taking the drug, your body begins to exhibit withdrawal symptoms-headaches, slight cramping, sweating, nausea-that increase in intensity as the hours pass. These symptoms begin within a few hours of your last missed dose and plateau about three days into the experience.

An OxyContin detox at a drug rehab facility like The Canyon can mean a significant reduction in your discomfort and the withdrawal symptoms that are associated with opiate withdrawal. Through medications that block the opiate receptors in the brain or medications that treat the specific symptoms you feel, our medical staff is on hand throughout the experience to make sure that you have everything you need to get through your OxyContin detox and come out on the other side without a physical dependency upon the drug.

Why OxyContin Detox is Necessary

Unfortunately, if you have co-occurring medical disorders, your OxyContin detox may not only fail it could end with you in the hospital or worse. Detoxing off of an opiate prescription painkiller like OxyContin is extremely taxing on the body and if you do not have the supervision of a medical professional or detox facility to walk you through it, you not only will experience far more devastating symptoms but it may end fatally.

The Need for OxyContin Detox is Rising

OxyContin is one of the most widely prescribed painkillers in the United States. It's also increasingly more common in overdose situations that require an emergency room visit. The fact that it's so commonly prescribed means that more of it is diverted to the street, which in turn, means that it is more easily accessed by those who would use it as a means to get high. Whether you came to OxyContin addiction via a prescription or through experimental usage, an OxyContin detox is a necessary first step in your treatment.

OxyContin Detox at The Canyon

At The Canyon, we provide a safe and efficient OxyContin detox that will allow you to break your physical dependency upon the drug before you continue with opiate rehab. We continue to treat your physical issues behind drug addiction throughout your stay with organic meals, yoga, meditation and gentle exercise while incorporating a variety of other therapies designed to meet your spiritual, mental and emotional needs as you heal.
