4  The idea is to stay away from the drug for long enough to give your brain a chance to heal. The opioid receptors start to function properly after some time and it all works fine. However, some people decide to detox from oxycontin at home but have to stick with the tapering method. It usually becomes an option when you have been taking oxycontin for long enough. It requires you to reduce the dose slowly. A good idea is to take the drug by swallow it with water and not snort, chew, or shoot it. You should also stick to a strict schedule and ask a friend to help you stay on track.  Whether you try quitting cold turkey or you stick to the tapering method, be ready to experience some withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms begin about 6 hours after you take your last dose. If you have completed stopped its use and are not going for the tapering off method, you may notice your oxycontin withdrawal peak 72 hours after your last use of the drug. The symptoms are likely to resolve in a week or so, but it can take longer depending on the doses administered and the duration of the use.

5  Oxycontin on its own is an effective painkiller, and this doesn’t make the drug or its consumption bad if medically prescribed. On the contrary, the problem would arise when the drug is taken far above the recommended dose in a bid to experience any euphoric or high feeling. Likewise, you know that you are a qualified candidate for Oxycontin detox medication if you show any sign of these symptoms: You crave for the doses are extreme, and if you miss even a single dose, you physically withdraw yourself. You have developed a clever and shady way to continue to have access to the drug. Have you been seeking them on the streets or going to multiple doctors for a prescription? If yes, then odds are high that you have entered the addictive phase. If you begin to feel nervous or anxious at the slight thought of you not being able to use the drug again. Your use of the drug is now compulsive, regardless of all the adverse social, physiological and physical consequences it comes with. You require more and more doses to maintain that high and euphoric feeling.

6  Both inpatient and outpatient treatment programs have their benefits, but you will have to consider an inpatient treatment program when other options do not work. You can always start with a detox at home, but that may or may not work for you. This is when inpatient treatment programs work better because they provide you with medically supervised detox. They help get rid of oxycontin in a safe manner, and you will always feel more confidence with a team of medical specialists available to manage your physical and emotional withdrawal symptoms.  An inpatient oxycontin addiction treatment is also a better choice because the professionals would help identify any underlying mental illness. Failing to identify and treat the underlying mental illness will make the addiction treatment quite ineffective.

7  Some people who have been using oxycontin for quite long may also experience long-term withdrawal symptoms. These symptoms are usually less physical in nature and may only involve behavioural or emotional issues. Whatever the symptoms, you can improve your condition by taking the correct doses of OTC medications. For instance, you can take Imodium if you have diarrhea. In case you have nausea, some medications like dimenhydrinate and meclizine may help. Antihistamines may also help manage your nausea in a better way. Similarly, you can take acetaminophen or even opt for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to deal with body aches and pains. Just keep in mind that though OTC medications help, you should not use them for an extended period. You should avoid larger doses too.

8  A new tool that aids the balance in the chemistry of the addict has been discovered. The tool is an All- Natural drink which feeds the addicted brain with the important nutrients it lacks. Most importantly, the depleted neurotransmitters are restored and the cravings for OxyContin are inhibited.  Knowing the extent to which an addict can be affect is somewhat difficult. Nonetheless, pointers for the possibility of addiction could be when you have an urge for the drug when you are not in pain, if you are fighting the urge to take it or when you begin to imagine what a life without the drug will be.
