Oxycodone
addiction is caused by long term intake of
Oxycodone. Oxycodone is an narcotic analgesic
used to control pain and an anti-cough medication.
A common brand name is Oxycontin. Oxycodone
addiction and use has been increasingly dramatically
in the past ten years. In fact, the average
use of oxycodone in the United States has increased
by 300% of the past decade. Likewise, the number
of emergency room visits related to oxycodone
addiction and use has increased by 500%.
Since
oxycodone is meant to be taken orally, it has
become an attractive drug of choice for people
suffering from addiction to opiates that normally
are taken via needle. The saftey factor of
the fact that it is a timed release drug, is
gotten around by crushing it up and snorting
it or disoloving it and shooting it up.To
satisfy their need for oxycodone, people suffering
from oxycodone addiction call in phony prescriptions
and steal hydrocodone from pharmacies.
Oxycodone
addiction affects people of all ages. Pill
addiction is often looked at as a white collar
problem that is used only by professionals.
In reality, oxyocodone addiction is steadily
increasing among all groups of people. Yet,
the most likely group of people to suffer from
oxyocodone addiction is 10-40 year old white
women.
Recovering
from hydrocodone addiction can be difficult
because hydrocodone creates both a mental
and a physical addiction. In the person suffering
from hydrocodone addiction, the hydrocodone
stimulates opiate receptors in the brain.
For the person with a hydrocodone addiction,
this results in feeling extreme pleasure.
A
feeling of relaxation and satisfaction that
can last for many hours then follows the
initial high created by oxyocodone in the
person with a oxyocodone addiction. Along
with the feeling of relaxation, the respiratory
system is affected causing a decrease in
the rate of breathing. This slow down in
the person with the addiction can be fatal.
Traditionally,
oxyocodone addiction treatment dealt with both
the psychological side of addiction and the
symptoms of hydrocodone addiction withdrawal.
This method, however, has not proven to be
a highly effective method for treating this
addiction.
A
newer method for dealing with oxyocodone
addiction withdrawal is called Waismann
Method and it looks at hydrocodone
addiction as disease that needs to be treated
with medical techniques. This method has
shown a greater effectiveness in the treatment
of oxyocodone addiction.
No
matter the method used to treat oxy addiction,
it is imperative for the person suffering
from hydrocodone addiction to get help with
his problem it can be a matter of life or
death.
