OxyContin Detox

OxyContin is one of the strongest and most commonly prescribed painkillers today for those who are suffering from acute or chronic pain. Commonly referred to as 'hillbilly heroin' or 'poor man's heroin,' OxyContin is an opiate that offers a powerful high to the uninitiated. Unfortunately, it doesn't take long for a tolerance to the drug to build, creating a need for more and more OxyContin to achieve the initial high. Soon, OxyContin addiction is in effect and the only way to break it is to undergo an OxyContin detox.

At The Canyon, we provide an OxyContin detox that is efficient and safe. Our on-staff medical professionals specialize in substance abuse treatment and opiate detox and will make sure that your OxyContin detox experience is as comfortable as possible.

OxyContin Detox: The Need for Supervised Opiate Detox

When you are suffering from drug addiction, even if that drug is prescribed like OxyContin or Vicodin, it is easy to let your medical health slide. Perhaps you are focusing on your chronic pain only. Perhaps you are so focused on your drug addiction that you don't keep up with preventative health measures or checkups. The OxyContin addiction itself may cause physical problems of which you are unaware. When you suddenly stop taking OxyContin or any other opiate prescription painkiller, your body begins to exhibit painful withdrawal symptoms in just a few hours of your missed dose. Should you have other health problems-problems that you may not even know about-your opiate detox can go from painful to deadly.

In order to keep your OxyContin withdrawal symptoms to a minimum and be prepared to deal with unforeseen medical complications immediately, it is essential that you undergo your OxyContin detox in a drug rehab facility with medical staff on hand to assist you throughout the process.

OxyContin Detox: Medication and Medical Detox

There are a number of medications that were designed specifically to treat the withdrawal symptoms associated with opiate detox. Among them are methadone, Subutex and Suboxone, two forms of buprenorphine. These drugs block the opiate receptors that would otherwise let your body know that there is no OxyContin in the system and allow you to break your physical dependence on the drug. Used correctly, these medications can be extremely helpful in making your OxyContin detox a simple experience.

On the other hand, there are also medications that are helpful in relieving the withdrawal symptoms that are associated with OxyContin detox. Whether you are suffering from insomnia or bone and muscle pain, nausea or diarrhea, it may be more to your advantage to simply treat the symptoms as they come. At The Canyon, we can help you get through your OxyContin detox and come out on the other side a happier and physically healthier person.

OxyContin Detox: Following Up with OxyContin Rehab

OxyContin detox alone is not enough to "cure" you of OxyContin addiction. Unfortunately, there is no cure for OxyContin addiction or drug addiction of any kind. Rather, a good OxyContin detox that attends to your physical symptoms is preparatory for OxyContin rehab, a process that treats the mental, emotional and spiritual needs that may have triggered your addiction in the first place. No detox is a complete treatment on its own. Instead, a combination of a medical detox followed up by drug rehab is your best shot at a life without OxyContin and drug dependence.

OxyContin Detox at The Canyon

At The Canyon, we provide both a medical OxyContin detox and an extended OxyContin rehab that can be described as holistic, which means that it tends to the many types of wounds that need healing after opiate addiction.
