OxyContin Detox -- Recidivism Protection

 

You’ve walked down the long difficult road to OxyContin detoxification. Now, you want to ensure a clean and sober lifestyle. What are some pitfalls that you may encounter during your detox from oxycontin? One, your cravings may return suddenly, triggered by either physical pain or psychological remembrance of the euphoria of opioids. Be mindful that the body develops a physical tolerance for opioids during use -- after detox and recovery, you’ll be far more susceptible to a far lower dose of OxyContin. Indeed, there have been literally hundreds of OxyContin overdose deaths reported as a direct result of accidental “relapse overdosing.”

 

Being out of commission on opioids can desensitize you to signals from the body, so you may discover that certain medical problems (e.g. aches and pains, myofascial dysfunctions) need to be treated urgently. Take care of medical inconveniences, and see you doctor often during the post-detox stages to ensure that you haven’t done damage to your liver, gastrointestinal tract, and respiratory system.

 

OxyContin is a time-release medication that contains chemical fillers. Sadly, many people suffering from oxycontin addiction grind up their normal doses to experience the euphoria of opioid binding faster. While taking ground OxyContin sublingually is obviously not recommended, injecting, snorting, or smoking ground OxyContin can create a plethora of health hazards, stemming in part from the fact that the inert filler materials in the drug can become suddenly chemically active when in-taken along non-recommended pathways.

 

Seek personalized oxycontin treatment and coaching as you move away from your past history with OxyContin, and be aware of what conditions and psychological states trigger cravings so you can act to staunch them.
