Oxycontin addiction is both physiologically and psychologically addictive. Oxycodone is the main ingredient in Oxycontin. Oxycodone activates the neurotransmitters in the mu and delta receptors of the Central Nervous System causing a cascading of dopamine which produces a feeling of euphoria and well being. The allure of the drug comes primarily from euphoria and stress relief. There literally is no stress for the user when under the influence of Oxycontin (Oxycodone). As soon as an Oxycontin addict runs out Oxycontin and begins the withdrawal process; fear takes a tight hold of the mind and all other plans become secondary to acquiring more Oxycontin.
Oxycontin is a derivative of the opium alkaloid known as thebaine. Thebaine is one of three main active opioid alkaloids harvested from the opium plant (Papaver somniferum). It metabolizes in the liver into several other active opioids such as, oripavine, morphine and codeine.
Oxycontin addicts may go through debilitating withdrawal symptoms when they stop using. The fear that Oxycontin addicts feel when they begin to withdraw from Oxycontin can be paralyzing. They may be unable to face the possibility of life without Oxycontin. They know what Oxycontin withdrawal means. It means tremendous pain.
Oxycontin withdrawal, also known as opiate abstinence syndrome includes a wide array of opiate withdrawal symptoms that include; muscle aches, restlessness, insomnia, cold sweats, nausea, sneezing and diarrhea. During withdrawal, Oxycontin addicts begin to experience acute physical and emotional distress. Opiate withdrawals can be so severe they cannot deal with the pain. At this point many Oxycontin addicts will relapse to end their discomfort.
The best solution to overcome opiate abstinence syndrome is an inpatient, medically managed opiate detoxification center. Besides debilitating Oxycontin withdrawal symptoms, many Oxycontin addicts are suffering from dehydration and malnutrition.
To address the problems of Oxycontin withdrawal including dehydration and malnutrition; Orange County Detox designed a comprehensive Oxycontin detox program known as the Oxycontin Detox and Treatment Program. We believe it to be the best Oxycontin Detoxification Program available anywhere.
The Oxycontin Treatment Program works when other programs fail. The main difference between our program and other programs is our experience in the field. Orange County Detox Center was founded on the principles of compassion and honesty. We opened our doors to help opiate addicts recover while other treatment centers didn't know how to help.
Oxycontin treatment using Suboxone or Subutex is one of the most effective tools for treating Oxycontin addiction. We have developed an Oxycontin detox program that allows people to recover in dignity and comfort. This type of opiate detox was unheard of just a few years ago.
