OxyContin Detox & Addiction Facts

Rapid Drug Detox can help detox you from OxyContin.

OxyContin Addiction

OxyContin is a controlled-release version of oxycodone hydrochloride intended for extended pain relief. Those addicted to OxyContin often crush the tablets then inject or snort them releasing the drug into the bloodstream all at once and increasing the risks of addiction. Such use can be fatal even for first time users.

OxyContin Side Effects

Extended use of OxyContin can lead to increased tolerance and addiction. Overdose remains a pervasive risk for long-term users and can lead to respiratory depression or arrest, skeletal-muscle flaccidity, blood-pressure and heart-rate reduction, coma, and death.

OxyContin Withdrawal Symptoms

OxyContin withdrawal can be a painful process particularly after heavy use. Symptoms are similar to heroin withdrawal and may include sweating, heart spasms, increased blood pressure, nausea, dehydration, abdominal cramps, trembling, weakness, muscle ache, diarrhea, vomiting, restlessness, leg spasms, insomnia, and mood disturbances such as irritability and thoughts of suicide.

Rapid Anesthesia OxyContin Detox

Rapid anesthesia detoxification (The RDD Method^™) is a medical procedure that cleans the OxyContin drug from the brain’s opiate receptors. The RDD Method^™ is shown to successfully ease the user through the rebound anxiety that accompanies detoxification. Instead of a difficult, several-week withdrawal period, rapid detox eliminates most of withdrawal symptoms.

After the procedure, recovery occurs under direct medical supervision. The patient’s vital signs and overall physical and mental reactions to these medications are closely monitored during the detox procedure. In the days that follow the procedure, the patient often sleeps more than usual. Administered by professionals as part of a long-term drug-addiction recovery strategy, The RDD Method^™ is proven to be significantly more effective than other detoxification methods.

If you are using opiate drugs to control pain and feel you are using more and more to get the same pain relief, you may be suffering from a common condition caused from opiate drug use; read about this condition called Hyperalgesia. Also, read about hormones and how the chronic use of opiate drugs can decrease the body’s ability to produce the proper amount of testosterone and estrogen.

We never use other replacement addicting opiates, often prescribed by physicians and detox centers, such as Suboxone^®/Subutex (Buprenorphine) or injectable Buprenorphine. These schedule III controlled opiate drugs are routinely and widely used and approved by the FDA for opiate addiction maintenance, like Methadone. Many patients find themselves in the same situation as they were before drug treatment from a doctor or a drug rehabilitation center. We have heard of some in-patient rehab centers also using schedule II controlled liquid Hydrocodone and Dilaudid “cocktails”. Patients soon realize these replacement drugs cause severe withdrawal once they are discharged from these programs. This causes the patient to seek opiates for relief from the severe discomfort of a Buprenorphine withdrawal. The use of these drugs for treatment of opiate addiction is merely switching one opiate drug for another setting the patient up for failure. This does not solve the patient’s drug addiction problem. As use of these drugs become more common, we are seeing a steady increase of requests for an anesthesia detox from patients addicted to Suboxone^®/Subutex (Buprenorphine). With RDD’s Naltrexone Therapy used as a pellet/implant, injectable “IM” shot or the oral pill form, the patient stays clean and cravings are eliminated.
