Specialized Treatment for OxyContin Addiction Available at Sober Living by the Sea
The rise in prescription drug addiction has skyrocketed
over the past several years and perhaps the most devastating of all
addictions involves the oxycodone-based narcotic OxyContin, a pain
medication that essentially hit the market as legalized heroin. While
it was developed to alleviate chronic pain associated with injuries,
bursitis, fractures, neuralgia, arthritis, and lower back and cancer
pain has quickly become the “recreational” drug of choice for those
addicted to its euphoric effects.
Making OxyContin abuse even more dangerous is the drugs high price and
relative short supply, two factors that often turn addicts to heroin.
Many have attributed the recent wave of heroin deaths in young people
to these two factors, making it all the more important to treat
OxyContin addiction before the addict graduates to something worse.
Recognizing that treatment for OxyContin
addiction
was paramount, Sober Living by the Sea has designed and developed one
of the most comprehensive rehab programs for lasting recovery.
Treatment for OxyContin addiction often involves challenges that aren’t
always present in the treatment of other drug addictions or alcoholism.
Many OxyContin addicts have a difficult time admitting they have a
problem or that they need a rehab for
OxyContin
abuse.
Presenting another challenge in the traditional OxyContin treatment
process is the difficult detox process that often entails a severe
withdrawal phase that can be followed by a protracted phase of
depression and insomnia that can last for months.
The professional staff at Sober Living by the Sea has extensive
experience in not only opening patients’ eyes to the damage their
addiction has caused but easing them through the implementation of a
Suboxone detox, considered one of the most painless detoxifications
from OxyContin possible.
Once an OxyContin addict has safely detoxed off the narcotic Sober
Living by the Sea outlines a personal recovery plan for each patient.
While this personalized treatment program involves individual therapy
sessions that will help identify the root causes of the addiction there
is also a strong emphasis placed on the principles of 12-step recovery
programs, stressing the importance of building a fellowship among other
addicts and working with others.
Because of the unique circumstances that surround OxyContin addiction
Sober Living by the Sea has created a specialized program to treat the
men and women who are addicted to it. These specialized OxyContin
treatment
programs
give the addict the best chance at living a sober and happy life.
