Residential OxyContin Addiction Treatment

OxyContin addiction can be potentially fatal because of the high risk of accidental overdose.  If OxyContin is being mixed with other medications, illegal narcotics, or alcohol, the user faces a particularly high risk of suffering a drug overdose.  OxyContin is an expensive drug that is difficult to obtain; therefore, it is also a gateway drug to heroin, which is much cheaper and easier to find. 

It is recommended that a person who is addicted to OxyContin get residential treatment for a minimum of 30 days to re-learn how to live life without the drug.  Sober Living by the Sea is a residential treatment center in California that specializes in OxyContin addiction treatment (as well as other prescription medications).  Sober Living by the Sea helps its clients recover and learn how to enjoy life again through numerous esteem-building outdoor activities.

Approaching a Loved One About Their OxyContin Abuse

Starting the conversation about a loved one’s OxyContin abuse can be very difficult.  People of all ages who are addicted to drugs will react with anger and denial.  Many families benefit from the involvement of an interventionist who will help them confront their loved one about their drug use and encouraged him/her to accept the gift of treatment.  For more information about the different types of intervention call 866-690-7236.
