It is not rare to find people who are always irritates, bored and not at all interested in any types of activities. If you take a deep look at their lifestyle then you can find that many of them eat medicines like anything and that too without any prescription. All these signs are actually proof of a dangerous thing and that is drug addiction. Nowadays, people are getting addicted to painkillers like Oxycontin. It was introduced in the year 1995 and now it is banned from the market because of the addiction factor.

You may wonder why Oxycontin and why not anything else. Well, many people think it is just a simple painkiller. But it has many side effects and that will increase with time. Initially you won’t realize those things but gradually you will feel nausea, headache and irritation within you. And after taking these drugs for too long it even starts creating hallucination and other effects. Later it can even lead you to coma or death. And that is why you need to take care of the problem in the very beginning.

To cure the addiction the first thing is to help the patient to realize that he or she has become an addict and needs treatment. There are two different types of drugs available in the market. One is hard and another is soft drugs. The treatment varies depending on type of drug the patient was taking. Drug addiction is a difficult thing and that is why through the treatment the patient will get over of the dependence mentally and physically. There is a detoxification process that needs a couple of days or sometimes can last for a couple of weeks depending on the patient’s condition. After that there is a total 12 step rehab procedure one needs to follow. Once the procedure gets over then the patients feel like living again.
