Learn About OxyContin Addiction Treatment

Understand treatment for OxyContin addiction at Sierra by the Sea in Newport Beach, CA

OxyContin is the brand name of a medication that is often prescribed to treat moderate to severe pain. The main ingredient in OxyContin is oxycodone, which is a semisynthetic opioid. Common medical uses of OxyContin include helping individuals who are in pain due to injuries, chronic conditions such as arthritis, or illnesses such as cancer.

In addition to alleviating pain, OxyContin can also elicit a sense of relaxed euphoria. Unfortunately, this pleasurable effect can prompt individuals to use the drug illicitly for recreational purposes. The dangerous side effects of OxyContin, which include suppressed respiration and slowed heart rate, mean that the improper use of this drug can lead to devastating outcomes.

OxyContin is a powerful medication with a high risk of addiction. Even people who are prescribed OxyContin by a qualified healthcare provider can become dependent on the drug. OxyContin addiction can produce an overwhelming compulsion to use the drug, often in increasingly greater quantities and even after a person has experienced negative outcomes due to prior use.

The physical and psychological distress of OxyContin withdrawal can prevent people from ending their use of this drug. However, with proper professional treatment, you can rid your body of this substance, manage the symptoms of OxyContin addiction, and achieve a solid foothold in early recovery.

If you’ve become addicted to OxyContin, you may be at risk for a wide range of immediate and long-term negative effects. Untreated OxyContin addiction can harm your mind and body, derail your academic and professional progress, disrupt your relationships, and undermine your ability to live a satisfying and productive life.

Physically, OxyContin addiction can damage your heart, kidneys, liver, and other organs. While you are under the influence of OxyContin, you may be at increased risk for slips, falls, traffic accidents, and other causes of injuries. You also may neglect your health needs, which can bring about or exacerbate various additional medical problems.

Untreated OxyContin addiction is associated with increased absenteeism and decreased performance, which can lead to problems in school or at work. Failure, expulsion, job loss, and chronic unemployment are among the many potential negative outcomes that can result from untreated OxyContin addiction. These setbacks, in turn, can lead to significant financial distress, diminished self-esteem, and loss of hope for the future.

When you live with untreated OxyContin addiction, you may also experience problems within the context of your interpersonal relationships. You may lose the support of family members, friends, romantic partners, and others at a time when you are in greatest need of their compassion and assistance.

The cumulative impact of physical health problems, social setbacks, and related challenges can even lead to suicidal thoughts and behaviors.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. When you get proper professional care at a reputable OxyContin addiction treatment facility such as Sierra by the Sea in Newport Beach, California, you can minimize your risk for these negative outcomes.
