Oxycodone Detox
Oxycodone (oxycontin) is an opiate that is manufactured in controlled release tablets which are twice as potent as morphine. When used legally, this medication is intended to alleviate moderate to severe pain and is an active ingredient in percocet and percodan. Originally approved for use by the FDA in 1995, this pain killer has become a popular recreational drug along with heroin, vicodin, lortab and other similar opiates.
The original labeling of this medication carried a warning that users should not crush these tablets because the result would be a release of lethal amounts of this drug. However, in addition to warning patients using the drug for legal purposes of this danger, it also informed recreational users of an added method of abuse.
Oxycodone binds to pain receptors in the brain so that the sensation of pain is reduced. However, if used more frequently than prescribed or in larger doses, it also causes both mental and physical addiction by triggering intense feelings of pleasure in the brain - followed by a feeling of contentment that lasts for several hours.
For those individuals who have unfortunately become dependent upon this powerful opiate - many through no fault of their own - there is hope for highly motivated men and women who are ready to become free of chemical dependency. The Meditox Method is designed to provide a safe and effective form of oxycodone detox which will eliminate the need to experience the pain and misery of withdrawal.
We provide our patients with buprenorphine which reduces the usual period of withdrawal from several days down to a few manageable hours. In addition, it is not necessary to enter our clinic as an in-patient since the course of treatment will take only six weeks (42 days) which can be done in the comfort and convenience of your own home.
If you feel that Meditox might be the right solution for you or your loved one, please call us for a toll-free and private consultation:
