Your
addiction to OxyContin may have started with pain from an injury or a chronic
condition. When you went to your doctor’s office for help, and you were
provided with a prescription for the drug, you were likely told how the drug
was to be used. Perhaps you followed those instructions to the letter for a
short period of time, but one day, you chose to bend the rules a bit and you
took a higher dose than was recommended or you combined the drug with alcohol
or another medication, trying to increase the sensation of euphoria. This is
one pathway to addiction that many people follow.
Your addiction to OxyContin may have
started in a completely different fashion, and if so, you’re not alone.
According to a recent study, 78 percent of people who admitted to OxyContin use
also admitted that they’d never been given a prescription for the drug. They
may have received the drug by: purchasing it from a dealer, stealing it from
relatives, receiving the drug as a gift from friends or relatives or buying it
online
Using OxyContin without a prescription
is illegal, and it’s also considered drug abuse. The medication is designed to
treat pain, so using it for any other purpose is troublesome. If you’re using
the drug to get high or for recreation, it’s time to stop and think hard about
your actions and what you might need to do to stop. As you’ll see,
experimenting with the drug can lead to abuse and addiction.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the information. Oxycontin and other medical drugs do have safe application, and are useful in many circumstances. We just need to assure that people use them in the right way. An Oxycontin detox is a great way to have a safe and healthy removal of those drugs that maybe were not consumed in the right way. Thanks again for the article. http://rapiddetoxlasvegas.com/id4.html
