OxyContin Addiction Treatment in California Drug Rehab Facility Sober Living by the Sea
Over the past several years addiction to prescription
medications has skyrocketed, destroying countless lives and leaving many
families to suffer the anguish of losing a loved one. Perhaps no
prescription drug has been more devastating than OxyContin, a pain
medication that has been described as nothing more than legalized
heroin. While prescribed by doctors to patients in need of chronic pain
management OxyContin has quickly found itself in the hands of addicts.
As deadly as abusing OxyContin can be, it is the almost natural
progression to heroin that has made its effects so damaging. Many of
those addicts who started with OxyContin graduate to heroin when the
price and supply of the prescription drug becomes too hard to maintain.
This has led to a rash of heroin overdoses, particularly in young people
who thought that OxyContin was simply a recreational drug.
Because of the gravity of OxyContin
addiction
Sober Living by the Sea has designed an OxyContin treatment program
that can specifically target the addiction and better assist an addict
desperate for recovery. This specialized treatment program has been
created by a staff of experts in the addiction field, many of whom have
struggled with addiction themselves and found relief in sobriety.
As a drug and alcohol treatment center in Newport Beach, California
Sober Living by the Sea has created the specific OxyContin treatment
program
for those who identify the prescription medication as their drug of
choice. Included in this program of recovery is special attention to not
only the physical toll that OxyContin can have on the addict but the
emotional, psychological, and spiritual toll as well.
To address these issues Sober Living by the Sea balances a blend of
individual therapy sessions, group therapy sessions, educational
classes, and the foundation of a 12-Step recovery program that instills
guiding principles for a life of recovery.
These steps to recovery are necessary for OxyContin
addicts
as many will find themselves tempted to relapse during early sobriety.
Without the tools in place to fight the triggers of relapse most addicts
will fall back into their addiction. Sober Living by the Sea takes
special care to emphasize the significance of these tools and ensure
each patient that with them they can overcome their addiction and live
a happy sober life.
Sober Living by the Sea, just feet from the water in Newport Beach, also
gives each patient a beautiful environment in which to get sober. With a
number of outdoor activities including surfing, soccer, basketball,
swimming and gym excursions every patient has the opportunity to
strengthen their sobriety through physical activity.
Sober Living by the Sea, located just
feet from the waters of Newport Beach, offers a unique recovery
environment for you or your loved one. Established in 1986 to help
recovering alcoholics to live in the community, Sober Living by the Sea
is now one of the largest residential treatment facilities in the United
States, caring for those suffering from all forms of addictive
behavior.
