Oxycontin Abuse Handled With Effective Drug Rehab

Oxycontin Abuse Handled With Effective Drug Rehab

Oxycontin abuse is a growing epidemic that is affecting the lives of thousands of people across the U.S. People who are addicted to the powerful painkiller need effective drug rehab in order to achieve permanent sobriety. Narconon Louisiana is one of the premier rehabs in the U.S. that address Oxycontin addiction, and is one of the only rehabs that boasts a 76% success rate for permanent recovery.

Oxycontin produces much of the same high as heroin. Heroin abuse and Oxycontin abuse force an individual to be a slave to the substance, producing severe withdrawal symptoms if the drug is not consumed. Withdrawal symptoms from Oxycontin can appear in as little as a few hours without the drug. These withdrawal symptoms include; sweating, hot and cold chills, bone aches, vomiting, sleeplessness, moodiness, runny nose, and diarrhea.

One of the reasons why Narconon Louisiana is so successful is getting people to free themselves from the chains of Oxycontin is because they employ a drug-free withdrawal. Clients are not given drugs to come off drugs. Instead clients are treated to 24-hour, one on one care focusing on vitamins, nutrients, and exercises designed to pull the addict out of introverted thoughts that produce cravings. One of the biggest reasons why it is so hard to come off drugs like Oxycontin is because the withdrawal symptoms are so severe.

Grandma and Grandpa Now The Local Drug Dealers

Dottie Neeley, 87, is just one of a growing number of elderly people taking on a new profession – drug dealing. Dottie has a prescription for the powerful pain killer, Oxycontin – which she doesn’t use. Instead of refusing the prescription, Dottie turns around and sells the highly addictive drug to addicts, looking to score.

Oxycontin is one of the most abused opiates in the U.S., mostly because it is becoming so easy to get ahold of. In the case of Dottie, elderly people are subsidizing their incomes with the funds from their drug sales. At 87, Dottie was put behind bars after police got wind of her illegal activities. Although Dottie will probably not serve any real time for her part in a drug ring, it is alarming the extent some will go to profit off of Oxycontin.

Oxycontin, a drug that feels like heroin, is extremely addictive, and requires long-term rehabilitation. Without the drug, addicts feel extreme withdrawals like sleeplessness, anxiety, upset stomach, bone pain, and depression. One of the biggest hurdles that someone who has a drug or alcohol abuse problem runs into is that the intense cravings that Oxycontin brings are hard to ignore.

Narconon Louisiana, a long-term, inpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility allows addicts to handle their drug abuse issues, without the ever-present cravings that they are used to experiencing. Narconon Louisiana employs a unique sauna detoxification process that helps the body get rid of drug and alcohol residue that is stored in the fat tissues. Once addicts are freed from cravings, they are then able to focus on why they started using drugs in the first place. In a field were the average success rate is between 12-20%, Narconon Louisiana far surpasses that with an unheard of 75% success rate for permanent recovery.
