In the last few days there have been several reports indicating that Cory Haim had an oxycontin addiction. This is substantiated by several pill bottles that bore the actors name that were obtained illegally. One pill bottle was a prescription for Oxycontin that investigators have traced back to a stolen prescription pad.
If this is true then Cory Haim will join the likes of Michael Jackson, Heath Ledger and Anna Nicole Smith on the list of celebrities that have died because of their addiction to prescription medications.
While the world is struggling to come to grips with addiction, and reeling from the Oxycontin epidemic, the only real solution is long-term, inpatient rehabilitation. Addicts are given the opportunity to take control of their lives, control that they have given up to drugs and alcohol.
Unfortunately, if Cory Haim had enrolled in an effective drug and alcohol rehab he would probably still be with us today. If you or anyone you know is in need of help for a drug or alcohol abuse problem please call Narconon Louisiana today at 866-422-4650 for more information.
