Oxycontin Treatment
What is OxyContin Treatment?
OxyContin is the brand name for oxycodone, a narcotic pain medication similar in effect to morphine and highly addictive. Often those who are prescribed OxyContin and other similar painkiller medications become physically addicted even when they follow the doctor's orders exactly. An OxyContin treatment then becomes necessary, a medically supervised OxyContin detox. At Meditox, we provide an OxyContin treatment in the form of a prescription for buprenorphine to help you break your physical addiction to OxyContin and avoid the difficult withdrawal symptoms that would otherwise occur.
Why Is OxyContin Treatment Necessary?
The abuse of OxyContin and other prescription painkiller medications is becoming an increasingly serious issue. An increase in illegal use of this drug in rural Maine, Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia brought national attention to the problem. Other areas currently experiencing an upsurge in OxyContin abuse include eastern Kentucky, New Orleans, southern Maine, Philadelphia, southwestern Virginia, Cincinnati and Phoenix.
What Kinds of OxyContin Treatments are Available?
The best OxyContin treatment combines therapeutic and pharmacological aspects. At Meditox, we provide the pharmacological relief from your medical addiction and allow you to explore 12-step treatment and counseling on your own time. It is by no means a requirement of the program. Our priority is that your road to recovery be private and anonymous. To that end, the only time you will need to make an appearance is at your initial consultation when you undergo an evaluation and procure your prescription from a Meditox physician.
After OxyContin Treatment, How is Chronic Pain Managed?
Those with chronic pain need some form of medication in order to be able to function at work, school or home and OxyContin is a common prescription due to its time release formula. One dose can relieve pain for up to 12 hours because it releases controlled amounts of the drug once it's in the system.
When OxyContin addiction is treated, the issue again becomes chronic pain management. Our support staff at Meditox is equipped to help you find a doctor in your area who can help you manage pain with a sensitivity to your drug addiction issues. In fact, should you need anything at all during your treatment, Meditox staff is ready and waiting to take your call.
