Oxycontin Cessation
Oxycontin opiate cessation is an important part of an effective withdrawal recovery process. Prescription drug abuse is common, particularly among prescription pain pills like Oxycontin (oxycodone), abuse means taking a prescription medication in higher doses than prescribed or in excess, taking a medication not prescribed to you, or taking it for reasons other than prescribed.
Prescription drug abuse can produce serious side effects, including addiction. Many individuals who are prescribed this drug for prolonged periods of time may develop a physical dependence upon it. Repeated exposure to an opiate causes the body to adapt, often resulting in tolerance (when more of the drug is required to obtain the desired effect than the initially prescribed dose) and withdrawal symptoms; especially upon abrupt cessation of use.
Therefore, individuals taking Oxycontin should be medically supervised if they discontinue use of the drug in order to lessen the severity of or eliminate withdrawal symptoms. For example, withdrawal symptoms include: bone and muscle pain, restlessness, involuntary leg movements, vomiting, insomnia, diarrhea, and cold/ hot flashes. Some individuals develop an addiction to this opiate by first being prescribed to it for a legitimate problem with pain. If use is continued, they can build a tolerance and become dependent. Once the body becomes dependent upon the drug, the individual may not be able to stop taking the drug on their own and if they do; may suffer with severe withdrawal.
However, when done correctly, Oxycontin opiate cessation and withdrawal are tolerable and surprisingly mild. Individuals who are addicted to or abuse this drug can overcome it. At first, it may be necessary to undergo cessation that is medically supervised to reduce symptoms of withdrawal. For example, cessation methods can include sauna or chelation treatment, vitamin therapy, and short-term opiate substitution. Detoxification is just one step towards recovery; methods for effectively addressing addiction also include psychotherapy or counseling and other therapies. Buprenorphine (Suboxone) can be used as an opiate substitute for a short period of time (to avoid dependence) once the drug has been cessation ified from the body and substantially eases withdrawal pain.
A person experiences withdrawal symptoms because this opiate has been producing a fake source of the body’s natural pain killers; endorphins. Therefore, the body stops its natural production of endorphins. Thus, when Oxycontin is removed, there are no endorphins in the brain to block pain making things like showers and light touch painful. This is also the case with emotions, because there are no endorphins to filter emotional sensitivity; the individual in withdrawal often experiences heightened emotions and sensitivity. This can make opiate withdrawal one of the most painful withdrawal processes. However, by focusing on raising natural endorphins and using Oxycontin opiate cessation methods to remove residues of the drug; a lasting success can be created.
Alternative to Meds Center collaborates with our doctors to help individuals lessen dependence and withdrawal symptoms from opiates. This is done through the use of carefully considered tapering techniques and the administration of Suboxone by our doctor for one or two weeks. Suboxone is a medication that eases withdrawal substantially, occupies the opiate receptors, but does not drug the individual. During this time, amino acids and endorphin building nutrients are given to the individual specifically to replenish a low-endorphin state. The individual can be converted from using Oxycontin to Suboxone, and then tapered off of Suboxone during a period of one to two weeks. Successful cessation residents include high protein diets, exercise and the elimination of sugar, cigarettes, and processed foods to aid cessation ification.
Understand more about the underlying causes for why opiates may have been needed in the first place and how we can help to greatly lessen withdrawal and successfully guide you through Oxycontin opiate cessation.
