We provide effective, individualized recovery programs designed to help you overcome Oxycontin addiction and reconnect with your spiritual core - your authentic self -- in an unmatched setting of natural beauty and serenity. Our goal for every client is a happy, productive, drug-free lifetime.

OxyContin Abuse and OxyContin Addiction

OxyContin is a powerful opium derivative with heroin-like properties that is most often prescribed for use by terminal cancer patients and chronic pain sufferers. Because of its availability and high opiate dosage, OxyContin has become a popular recreational and street drug. But Oxycontin abuse is a potentially lethal pastime. Its elevated opiate levels can quickly lead to physical dependence, and ultimately Oxycontin addiction. Hundreds of deaths have been linked to Oxycontin abuse, often by first-time users or in combination with alcohol or another drug. Typical Oxycontin addiction symptoms are:

. Constant exhaustion
. Depression
. Decreased appetite
. Decreased sex drive
. Joint/muscle pain
. Nausea/vomiting
. Diarrhea
. Insomnia
. Weight-loss

The duration of the Oxycontin detox process depends on the individual but, in some cases, symptoms can last for weeks. As with heroin addiction, Oxycontin detox without managed medical oversight is a slow, decidedly uncomfortable, often dangerous experience. Typical untreated OxyContin detox side effects include:

. Restlessness
. Cold-like symptoms
. Sweating/chills
. Muscle/bone pain
. Anxiety
. Cramps
. Blood pressure complications
. Diarrhea/vomiting

Oxycontin Addiction Treatment

If you or a loved one has a history of Oxycontin abuse or Oxycontin addiction, treatment at a world-class rehabilitation center like Renaissance Malibu can offer hope, recovery and the prospect of happy, fulfilling life.

Starting even before arrival at Renaissance Malibu's facility, the clinical staff works with the client's family and friends to develop an understanding of significant concerns and issues. Upon arrival, each person receives a series of personal evaluations to assess the client's status in each of the program's four main healing components; Mind, Body, Spirit, and Relationships. After coordination with all clinical and medical team members, the client moves to a luxurious suite, ready to focus on their individually tailored OxyContin addiction treatment plan.

OxyContin detox is a critical first step, whereby the physical and emotional discomforts of OxyContin withdrawal symptoms are managed by Renaissance Malibu's licensed OxyContin addiction specialists. Protocols are tailored to the individual, taking into account each new client's physical and emotional condition, as well as their Oxycontin abuse history, so that one's withdrawal experience is measured, monitored, and as comfortable as possible.

After effective OxyContin detox, rehabilitation and a lasting recovery are possible. The world-renowned clinical staff at Renaissance Malibu designs individualized therapy programs for each client from an unprecedented range of both traditional and innovative treatment options, while respecting each client's need for maximum individual attention. Our OxyContin programs are designed to treat the physical consequences of your OxyContin addiction; address the destructiveness to family and friends; identify your inner struggles and distorted beliefs; and provide you with grounding in the spiritual components crucial for life-long recovery.

Evaluating Treatment Centers

Any treatment center you contact that boasts first-rate OxyContin addiction treatment should be entirely able - and willing -- to answer any and all of your questions. Do not be timid in asking, and be sure that you are comfortable with the answers.

First, determine the accreditation of the center you are considering. Remarkably, there are many alcohol and drug rehabs that have no accreditation, often because their treatment methods are questionable. Some of the more dubious OxyContin rehab centers even state that there is a "simple answer" to addiction, and that dealing with emotional, relationship and family issues is not necessary. Be aware that this approach is short-sited, counter-productive, and entirely inaccurate.

If you or a loved one is considering a rehab center for Oxycontin abuse or addiction, you should inquire:

. Is the clinical staff fully licensed - not merely certified?
. Do they specialize in OxyContin addiction and abuse?
. Can they point to a history of success in Oxycontin addiction and abuse treatment?
. Do they have OxyContin relapse prevention and continuing care programs?
. Does the program offer a continuum of care, where you can transition to lesser or greater levels of care if you need them?
. Does the program offer a wide range of ancillary professionals and activities to further accommodate your specialized needs?
. Is the program structure flexible enough to accommodate personal needs?
. Does the OxyContin treatment program offer a balance of group and individual activities?
. Does the program offer specialized treatment tracks for your needs?
. Does the program take place in an institutional setting or offer a beautiful, serene environment conducive to healing?
