Despite new laws restricting the amount of prescriptions for pain killers, or monitoring prescription purchases, OxyContin continues to be abuse by tens of thousands of people in the United States. In fact, this epidemic of OxyContin addiction is getting worse.
In order to navigate around these new, harsher laws, addicts have resorted to robbing pharmacies, purposefully injuring themselves, or stealing the drugs or prescriptions from the elderly and/or cancer patients. So, while these laws may be discouraging new OxyContin addicts, they are not addressing those currently addicts to the drug.
The only real way to handle such a devastating addiction is by enrolling in a long-term, drug rehab program. This allows addicts to really handle their addiction and it prevents them from sinking to the new lows required to maintain such a habit.
In an attempt to curb the rising number of pharmacy robberies, Purdue Pharma has donated $1,000 to crime stoppers to put toward a reward for the capture of an Oregon man suspected of robbing pharmacies for Oxycontin. Purdue Pharma, the maker of this powerful narcotic has come under a lot of heat for knowingly marketing the highly addictive drug. As the number of Oxycontin robberies increase some wonder if this gesture is too little, too late.
Because Oxycontin requires a prescription, addicts have resorted to holding up pharmacies in an attempt to obtain the drug. It is clear that the only thing that is going to handle this growing problem is rehabilitation.

Often times patients do not even have to prove that they are sick or in substantial pain before being prescribed drugs.

While more and more people are beginning to realize that Oxy Contin is killing off our youth. Purdue Pharma, the maker of Oxy Contin, has answered the cries for help by creating a new Oxy Contin pill that cannot be tampered with. THis means that the pill cannot be crushed, chewed of dissolved as a way to bypass the time-release coating on the pill. While this good, it does not actually handle the thousands of people suffering from an Oxy Contin addiction. The only real way to do this is by enrolling in an effective drug and alcohol rehab like Narconon Louisiana.
The key to handling addiction permanently is to figure out why that person started resorting to drugs as a solution for life. While anyone can identify with having problems in life, there are certain people that handle those problems in different ways. Some people loose sleep at night, some people disconnect from their problems in different ways. Some people get panicky, and at times, some people begin to use drugs. The only difference between drug addicts and the rest of the people in the world is that they have found that drugs make their problems disappear.
Narconon Louisiana is a long term, inpatient drug rehab that does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease. Instead, after clients figure out what problem drugs and alcohol was a solution to, they can see life without the veil of drugs and alcohol. In addition to getting to the bottom of an addict’s addiction, Narconon Louisiana utilizes a unique method for detoxifiction. One of the biggest reasons for relapse is the presence of constant cravings. Cravings are the body’s way of reminding the person that the drugs or alcohol are necessary.
When a person uses drugs or alcohol some of those toxins latch onto the fatty tissues of the body. These toxins dislodge from the body during moments of mental or physical stress. When those toxins dislodge, they re-enter the blood stream and cause cravings. Clients who enter into the Narconon New Life Program sign up for several sessions in a dry-heat sauna. After some light exercise and a regimen of vitamins and nutrients, clients are able to sweat out the toxins that are so often responsible for relapse.
While the makers of Oxy Contin are making some steps to curb the amount of Oxy Contin abuse, the only real way to handle this epidemic is to confront addiction head on. By enrolling a person into a drug and alcohol rehab you are helping them handle their lives, you are helping them to shed the need to destroy their future. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for an Oxy Contin addiction please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650 for more information.
While it is widely known that a person with an Oxycontin addiction employs the method of “doctor shopping” in order to obtain their drugs, state officials al over the country are working hard to prevent this from being possible.
