How to get rid of Oxycontin Withdrawal

There really is no way to get rid of Oxycontin Withdrawals. Each person is going to have to endure the withdrawal symptoms one way or the other. The person who is addicted to Oxycontin will get a little taste of what the withdrawals are like when the prescription runs low and they have to make it last. Or if the person is trying to quit taking the drug, the withdrawals will start kicking in and might resort the person to take it again to stop the withdrawals. Right now, for an addicted person using Oxycontin, the body is use to the drug being in the body. The body now functions with the drug. The longer the person has been taking the pain reliever, the stronger the withdrawals and addiction will be. Some people who have quit the addiction describe the withdrawal period as "hell" or a "living nightmare". To a degree, this is true for this addiction. I had a comment come from a person saying how his addiction was very bad and his prescription was running low. He did not want to tell his doctor about the addiction because he feared the doctor would no longer prescribe Oxycontin and he would have to face the withdrawals. It can be that bad. The idea here is you cannot get rid of Oxycontin withdrawals, you are going to have to go through with them until your body is no longer addicted to the drug.

One method of easing the withdrawals of Oxycontin is to prescribe another drug that is in the Oxycodone drug family. If you do not already know, Oxycontin is relative of heroin, and so are all of the Oxycodone based drugs. So the idea with being prescribed another drug is to give the person a weaker version and begin taking a smaller dose each day. Or some people will just stick with Oxycontin and just decrease the dosage each day until the person is off of it completely. Will this stop the bad effects of withdrawal symptoms? No, sadly. The goal for this is to decrease the suffering from withdrawal symptoms as much as possible.

It will help out a lot to get advice from a professional to find out what an addicted user will experience when trying to detox from the drug. Often times people will try to kick the habit cold turkey and go through real hell, but getting advice on what will happen won't hurt. It could benefit a person to get help by going to a rehab center that has experience with oxycontin addictions. Some people have the preference to go to a treatment center that can watch over them 24 hours a day. People who go through the withdrawals will not be able to sleep much when they start kicking in really bad.

Going through withdrawals will be hard, but after the whole process is through it will be a heavenly feeling. Some people might not want to think about the journey, but living a life without a drug like Oxycontin having a hold is much more fulfilling. It is unfortunate that doctors still prescribe heroin related drugs to innocent people who are in need of pain medication, but the thing to do now is break the habit by getting professional help or possible going to an Oxycontin rehab center.
