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.
Oxycontin abuse is growing and it’s causing addicts to resort to some dangerous measures in order to obtain the powerful opiate. In Seattle, police are searching for a man who has robbed twn pharmacies in four months. Each time the robber demands Oxycontin.
Oxycontin abuse needs to be handled with effective drug rehab. In the case of the robber in Seattle, had he enrolled in a drug rehab like Narconon Louisiana, officials would not be searching for him and would not have put out a $100,000.00 reward for any information about his whereabouts.

Narconon Louisiana does not subscribe to the idea that addiction is a disease, instead they work one on one with a client to find out what problems drugs were a solution for.
