Mayflower Oxycontin Detox in MA offers evidence-based intervention to help stop the downward spiral experienced by individuals addicted to Oxycontin and other opioids.
Mayflower Oxycontin Detox in MA Understands How Addiction Works
Individuals addicted to Oxycontin in MA, or other opioids often get there because of taking medication prescribed for pain relief. After surgery, some patients take Oxycontin for intense and acute pain. Others take Oxycontin for chronic pain that over-the-counter medicines cannot relieve.
Oxycontin addiction can happen without the user realizing it, sometimes within a couple of weeks. When prescribed for temporary pain or short-term pain relief, Oxycontin is usually safe. However, in addition to relieving pain in some people, Oxycontin, like other opioids, provides a feeling of euphoria or pleasure. As a result, some people desire more of the drug. Eventually, the dosage of Oxycontin that a doctor prescribes ceases to provide the pleasurable effects that the patient once enjoyed. As a result, they take more than the recommended amount of the drug to get high.
When a doctor refuses to prescribe additional Oxycontin, patients who are intent on getting it will find a way, even if it means getting a street version. It is not unusual for individuals to pretend to be in pain to persuade a different health care provider to prescribe more Oxycontin. Some will go to extreme lengths, such as faking pain and calling an ambulance or having someone take them to the emergency room in hopes of being prescribed opioids. People who can no longer get Oxycontin may experience unpleasant withdrawal symptoms. To prevent this downward spiral, people who are addicted to opioids, like Oxycontin, benefit from the types of intervention offered by Mayflower Oxycontin Detox in MA.

Addiction to prescription drugs is a life-threatening condition. Withdrawal symptoms can be deadly. Rehab provides a safe place for prescription drug detox in MA.
Anytime that a patient uses prescription medication in a way not prescribed by a doctor, it’s drug abuse. If you or a loved one are suffering from addiction to a prescription drug, know that you are not alone. In 2019, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health estimated that almost 1.5 million adults suffered from pain reliever abuse disorder. Painkillers, stimulants, and sedatives are the most abused substances besides marijuana and alcohol. An estimated 52 million people have taken prescription drugs for a nonmedical reason at least once. Prescription drugs are a scientific miracle, designed to make patients’ lives easier. Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean that they don’t also cause harm. The perception that any drug prescribed by a medical professional is always safe to use, even incorrectly, perpetuates the cycle of abuse. Though they are legal, it does not make them any less addictive.

Methadone works by reducing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. Buprenorphine helps individuals addicted to opioids by relieving cravings but does not provide a high or euphoric experience like opioid drugs. Doctors prescribe both medications to facilitate an individual’s recovery from opioid addiction. They control cravings, and doctors can prescribe them for maintenance. Naltrexone works by blocking the effects of Oxycontin, such as pain relief and euphoria. It can help prevent relapse, keeping addicted individuals from craving the drug. With therapy and social support, these medications can help individuals transition to a life of sobriety.
