One of the growing problems of addiction involves medications intended to help us. Some of the prescription drugs we take for pain management contain an addictive ingredient called oxycodone. OxyContin is oftentime a culprit in cases of
prescription drug abuse and addiction. The FDA has recently put OxyContin on its medication watch list, because of the level of addiction and abuse cases. To overcome OxyContin addiction, one should seek the professional help of a drug rehab program. Cirque Lodge is a leading alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility. The privacy and serenity of the mountains can help to overcome the perils of prescription drug addiction.
OxyContin rehab at Cirque Lodge is a unique balance of effective therapies, and experiential activities.
The therapies are balanced between a personalized program, group elements, and our highly effective Family Program. For individuals in need of
OxyContin addiction treatment, this program can provide vital spiritual experiences for a life long recovery.
OxyContin Addiction Issues
Each year, the Food and Drug Administration releases a watch list of prescription drugs that raise concern for a number of reasons. These reasons can be adverse side effects, or can be based on specific known health risks. OxyContin was placed on the 2008 watch list. The FDA sited the monitoring due to "Drug misuse, abuse and overdose."
OxyContin is a name brand drug for a pain medication that contains higher levels of the opioid oxycodone. Oxycodone is a highly effective pain suppressant. It is used in many pain management drugs. When oxycodone is present in the central nervous system, the pain receptors in the brain are blocked. Oxycodone also interacts with dopamine receptors in the brain, creating euphoria. It is this euphoric sensation that individuals can get addicted to. When taken according to prescribe methods, the risk of developing prescription drug abuse or an addiction are less. The problem is when an individual self medicates or abuses the drug.
What has resulted is a culture of criminal activity for one reason, to obtain more prescription drugs. On any given day you will find news stories of individuals going to extreme measures to feed their OxyContin addiction. Robbing pharmacies, doctors being indicted for freely prescribing drugs for addictive purposes, home invasions for what's inside the medicine cabinet, these are the growing problem in society each day when it comes to this type of addiction.
Pharmacology labs are taking measures to create pain medications that can not be abused. This can help with the problem, but what about individuals who are already addicted to the drug? The right addiction treatment or drug rehab program can be the difference between life and death.
