Oxycontin Rehab

When OxyContin was first introduced to the marketplace it was hailed as a breakthrough in pain management.  The powerful opiate painkiller released its active ingredients over time, thus saving the individual pain sufferer from having to take dose after dose throughout the day.  Drug abusers soon discovered however that OxyContin, when snorted or injected, released all of its opiates at once, thus creating an intense high.
 

Any individual who is currently taking OxyContin and is unable to stop – despite a clear understanding of the harm it is causing them – is a strong candidate for OxyContin rehabilitation treatment.  In addition, friends and family members who suspect that their loved one may have an OxyContin addiction should be on the lookout for the following signs and symptoms:
 

• Withdrawal from friends and family

• Mood swings – from the highest highs, to the lowest lows

• Anxious behavior

• Stealing money

When an individual checks into an OxyContin rehab program, the first thing that must be completed is drug detox.  Detox stabilizes the individual, helps them overcome the physical addiction to OxyContin and insures that they will be in a position to get the absolute most out the remainder of the program.
 

Next, there is counseling.  Individual and group counseling sessions are a chance for the individual to learn more about the root causes of the addiction, the triggers that set off their drug use, and the strategies that can help them live a healthier life moving forward.
 

Group counseling is a key component of OxyContin treatment because it helps the individual find support and strength from other recovering addicts.   For many people, group counseling is a real breakthrough because it is the first time they have ever opened up in front of the others about their addiction.
 

In programs like Seasons in Malibu, individuals may also engage in traditional disciplines such as yoga, meditation and general exercise as a mean of creating a stronger individual from the inside-out.   These help the individual gain strength and focus – both essential to achieving and maintaining sobriety.
