Facts

  • Individuals who have experienced OxyContin withdrawal compare the process to the intensity of heroin withdrawal.
  • Long-term use of OxyContin often results in tolerance to the drug, causing the user to take higher doses to achieve the same initial effects. This can happen through both legitimate and illicit use of the drug.
  • Studies indicate that most individuals who seek treatment and remain in a drug rehab program stop using drugs, decrease their criminal activity, and improve their occupational, social, and psychological functioning.
  • Studies indicate that most of the damage caused by most drugs will eventually heal when the individual stops using them; this is not the case with the abuse of inhalants.
