Unfortunately, prescription drug addiction has become a major problem. Some drug detox and rehab centers have more people showing up at their door for help with prescription drugs than for heroin and the other illegal drugs. One of the worst prescription drugs is OxyContin: OxyContin, like heroin, is an opiate. It’s just as easy to develop an OxyContin addiction as an addiction to heroin, and it’s just as difficult to kick.

What can you expect while trying to withdraw from OxyContin? Although withdrawal is different for everyone, you can generally expect anxiety, increased respiratory rate, sweating, restlessness, anorexia and irritability as withdrawal begins. These symptoms can quickly escalate to include insomnia, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea, weakness, abdominal cramps, rapid heartbeat, abnormally high blood pressure, muscle spasms, and severe muscle and bone pain.

Does that sound like something you want to go through at home? I don’t think so.

Novus Medical Detox can help you take the first step towards ending OxyContin addiction with a safe and more comfortable medically supervised OxyContin detox. Here’s what one Novus client had to say after her OxyContin detox:

“While here I came to the realization that no one should attempt detoxification on their own. I had tried and failed to do so on my own. It was not until Novus that I finally succeeded. I never had the slightest problem here and would not recommend anyone trying to detox on their own. Novus was the best choice for my detoxification process and the staff made sure I was comfortable every step of the way.”
