Facts

  • Serious medical or mental illness as well as criminal involvement may increase the likelihood of individuals prematurely leaving drug rehab, in which case intensive interventions may be required to retain them.
  • The excessive release of dopamine and stimulation of the brain and central nervous system's natural reward system as a result of opiate use is what leads to addiction.
  • One option that is sometimes used to avoid opiate withdrawal is to replace the individual's drug of choice with methadone, a long-acting, cross-tolerant opiate that does not normally produce a "high."
  • OxyContin is an opiate agonist, meaning it provides pain relief by acting on opioid receptors in the spinal cord, brain, and possibly in the tissues directly.
