OXYCONTIN DETOX
Most people who have become dependent on or addicted to OxyContin experience up to a month of very uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms if they try to stop taking it. Most who attempt to withdraw from OxyContin don't complete their detox but resume taking the drug. This is why many people have decided to come to Florida and detox at Novus Medical Detox Center. Novus has developed a protocol for OxyContin detox that allows people to complete their detox and continue with their lives—most say that they experienced few unpleasant withdrawal symptoms.
OXYCONTIN TREATMENT
For people who have become dependent on Oxycontin or oxycodone, they are not taking the drug to feel a certain way, but only because if they stop they will become ill. They don't really need to go to rehab but can just resume their lives—drug-free.
For people who have become addicted, they take OxyContin because the oxycodone makes them feel a certain way and seems to be solving a problem they have, and they normally need to go to rehab. At the rehab, the OxyContin user will learn other ways to handle problems and be able to resume their lives drug-free.
