 
Oxycontin is a narcotic opioid made from the natural opioid thebaine.
 |
Thebaine comes from the papaver somniferum opium plant. It is the most noxious of the three main opioids (Morphine, Codeine and Thebaine).
Most people using Oxycontin recreationally will find themselves addicted in a matter of months.
The common routes of administration are; oral, snorting, smoking and intravenous.
Regardless of the route of administration the addictive properties remain the same.
Oxycodone is the main stimulant to the brain’s mu receptors. |
Not only is Oxycontin highly addictive it builds tolerance quickly. What was needed a few months ago to get high is now not enough to keep from getting sick.
The speed at which tolerance develops is considered to be the fastest of all prescription opiates. In fact it is not unusual for Oxycontin addicts to start at less than 40mg and reach levels in excess of 160mg in less than 12 months.
Our Oxycontin Rehab Center specializes in comprehensive and patient detoxification services. The key to a successful Oxycontin Rehab is time. A slow pain-free detox with relapse prevention therapy works far better than any other method.
We specialize in opiate detoxification treatment services. The average Oxycontin addict that enters our facility has been using in excess of 18 months and is using more than 160mg daily. Our highest level detox to date was a polysubstance user that was alternating 300mg methadone and 400mg Oxycontin every other day respectively. That client detoxified in 28-days without any peripheral complications.
