Oxycontin Addiction Treatment

OxyContin is responsible for the drastic increase in narcotic prescribing and opioid addiction. It was first used in the United States, then came up to Canada shortly after. It has been prescribed on numerous occasions by physicians to their patients to manage severe pain. Unfortunately, it is a very commonly abused narcotic pain reliever. Thousands of people have developed an addiction to OxyContin since it was first introduced. This also led to leaking out into communities and was diverted for non-prescribed use.OxyContin is often combined with other drugs and can be injected, smoked, or swallowed as a pill.

At NEWORLD Medical Detox, we have a specific program for Oxy’s addiction. As with other substance addictions, we provide our clients with a safe, medically supervised environment. We then introduce medications that will safely detoxify the opioid together with other medications to control the common withdrawal symptoms, such as: nausea, diarrhea, shaking, and chills. Once completed, our clients are safely detoxed from their drug of abuse, clear minded, and able to make decisions regarding their next step overcoming their addiction problems.
