Many people who develop an OxyContin addiction started taking the drug because of an injury, accident or surgery that caused severe pain. However, as I wrote in an earlier blog, some “experts” say that about nine percent of those who take prescription opioid painkillers for chronic pain over an extended period become addicted.  Of course they are using a narrow definition of addiction and they also seem to be saying that, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, these painkillers are really not that bad. Nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to OxyContin addiction.

Whatever the addiction statistics, a great many who take OxyContin or other opioid painkillers are, at the very least, going to become physically dependant—they experience severe withdrawal symptoms when they try to either reduce the dosage or stop taking the painkillers. And whether addicted or dependant, there’s a good chance they’re going to need OxyContin detox to come off the drug safely and without intense withdrawal symptoms.

Where do you go for OxyContin detox? Here’s what one client had to say after their stay at Novus Medical Detox.

“Novus is the greatest detox center and the most comfortable. I realized that my OxyContin addiction was my fault and nobody else’s. I also realized I want to stay clean and hope for the best for myself.  I will be attending rehab after Novus, but Novus did an excellent job of preparing me for my rehabilitation. Novus has a very successful program in my eyes and I would suggest Novus to anyone that has a problem with drugs and alcohol. My stay has been wonderful and the nurses, counselors, cooks, housekeepers and owners are very sweet.”

Getting off OxyContin can be painful. If you or someone you care about needs help, or simple needs to know whether they need OxyContin detox, contact Novus to find out what it involves and whether you need it. If so, they can also tell you how to get started.
