The U.S. House Judiciary Subcommittee on Commercial and Administrative Law is hosting a congressional field briefing regarding the Oxy Contin epidemic in the state of Massachusetts. Recent reports indicate that the amount of OxyContin abusers in this state have grown tremendously.

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. New legislation is being passed all over the United States that would require the names of any patients being prescribed oxycontin to be entered into a national registry. This would allows doctors to see if a person has more than prescription out there, and prevent addicts from tricking, or pretending they need the drug in the first place.

Oxycontin addicts have notoriously been known for employing unique ways in order to obtain their Oxycontin. However some may want to think twice before doing what is known as “doctor shopping”
“Doctor shopping” is when an Oxycontin addict will go through and find several different doctors. Each doctor will be asked for a prescription for Oxycontin, if it is not obtained the addict will simply move on to the next doctor until they get what they want. This is very illegal and law enforcement is starting to crack down on this method of getting drugs.
Officials in Florida performed early morning raids on addicts accused of doctor shopping and they can face some serious jail time as a result. The only real way to combat the Oxycontin epidemic is by effective drug and alcohol rehabilitation. If you or anyone you know is in need of help please call Narconon Louisiana at 866-422-4650.
