Oxycontin Detox Information

Time Released Oxycodone Hydrochloride

The DEA (United States Drug Enforcement Agency) says that in the past 20 years, no prescription medication has been so widely abused after its introduction into the marketplace as Oxycontin (time released oxycodone hydrochloride). Please understand that there are people who are legally prescribed oxycontin for legitimate pain management and are not your typical drug addicts. Though when the medication is no longer required and if stopped abrubtly, they will suffer the same severe oxycontin detox or withdrawal symptoms as any other opiate addict, unless medically detoxified.

Oxycontin is another synthetic opiate-like substance that was designed to be administered orally for long duration pain management for problems such as rheumatoid arthritis or cancer. Since it produces a euphoric high similar to that of heroin, it has been widely abused by opiate addicts resulting in high numbers of related pharmacy robberies and overdoses across the United States.

The withdrawal symptoms associated with oxycontin detox are hot and cold sweats, heart palpitations, joint and muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, dehydration, insomnia and depression. However, these moderate to severe withdrawal symptoms can be virtually eliminated when the addict is medically detoxified with the use of Suboxone and the 'round-the-clock monitoring provided by the trained staff of a licensed medically-supervised detox center.
