While more and more people are beginning to realize that Oxy Contin is killing off our youth. Purdue Pharma, the maker of Oxy Contin, has answered the cries for help by creating a new Oxy Contin pill that cannot be tampered with. THis means that the pill cannot be crushed, chewed of dissolved as a way to bypass the time-release coating on the pill. While this good, it does not actually handle the thousands of people suffering from an Oxy Contin addiction. The only real way to do this is by enrolling in an effective drug and alcohol rehab like Narconon Louisiana.

The key to handling addiction permanently is to figure out why that person started resorting to drugs as a solution for life. While anyone can identify with having problems in life, there are certain people that handle those problems in different ways. Some people loose sleep at night, some people disconnect from their problems in different ways. Some people get panicky, and at times, some people begin to use drugs. The only difference between drug addicts and the rest of the people in the world is that they have found that drugs make their problems disappear.

Narconon Louisiana is a long term, inpatient drug rehab that does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead, after clients figure out what problem drugs and alcohol was a solution to, they can see life without the veil of drugs and alcohol. In addition to getting to the bottom of an addict’s addiction, Narconon Louisiana utilizes a unique method for detoxifiction. One of the biggest reasons for relapse is the presence of constant cravings. Cravings are the body’s way of reminding the person that the drugs or alcohol are necessary.

When a person uses drugs or alcohol some of those toxins latch onto the fatty tissues of the body. These toxins dislodge from the body during moments of mental or physical stress. When those toxins dislodge, they re-enter the blood stream and cause cravings. Clients who enter into the Narconon New Life Program sign up for several sessions in a dry-heat sauna. After some light exercise and a regimen of vitamins and nutrients, clients are able to sweat out the toxins that are so often responsible for relapse.

The U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law is hosting a congressional field briefing regarding the Oxy Contin epidemic in the state of Massachusetts. Recent reports indicate that the amount of OxyContin abusers in this state have grown tremendously. In fact, between 2002 and 2007, there were 3,265 people who died of opiate related overdoses in Massachusetts, while 78 soldiers from the state died in Afghanistan and Iraq.

OxyContin abuse needs to be handled effectively in order to prevent so many deaths from occurring in one state. The only real way to handle drug and alcohol addiction is by enrolling in an effective drug and alcohol rehab, like Narconon Louisiana.

Narconon Louisiana is a long-term, inpatient facility that does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead, clients work one on one with a counselor to find out what problems drugs and alcohol were a solution for. Once those problems are isolated and handled addicts no longer feel the need to resort to drugs and alcohol as a way of life.
