The Road to Oxycontin Addiction - A PSA by Narconon Trois-Rivières

Jan. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- The YouTube video PSA by Narconon Trois-Rivières “The Road to Oxycontin Addiction” is as relevant today as when Cliff Van Rossum and Narconon Trois-Rivières created it in 2009.

Cliff, formerly addicted to the prescription drug Oxycontin, got clean from Oxycontin by using Narconon Trois-Rivières alcohol and drug addiction recovery program. Cliff graduated from the Narconon Trois-Rivières Oxycontin drug-free rehab in June of 2009, and has since put in much time and effort in order to help others who have found themselves going down the same road – that of Oxycontin addiction.

Oxycontin is a prescription Schedule B narcotic – an opioid based on oxycodone. As with all opioids, Oxycontin brings relief from mental and physical tension, pleasant feelings, and strong pain relief.

Purdue Pharma, a private drug manufacturing company, has faced censure and criticism for years over its product Oxycontin. Narconon Trois-Rivières PSA video “The Road to Oxycontin Addiction” reflects community concerns about this prescription medication. Narconon Trois-Rivières http://www.narconontroisrivieres.co/  offers its services, as a natural provider of addiction recovery programs, to all and anyone concerned for themselves or a loved one about oxy addiction and offers full recovery with Oxycontin rehab.

Purdue Pharma originally marketed Oxycontin in doses between 10mg and 80mg and also 160mg. In 2001, the 160mg dose was taken off the market due to concerns about its potential to cause death by overdose and acute respiratory failure. Illicit drug use is always a risky practice, and anyone stripping off the protective seal of slow release 160mg Oxycontin would indeed be taking a risk. A single 40mg dose can be fatal in someone not accustomed to opioid use. Even people with extreme tolerance to opioids would be putting their life on the line with a daily dose of 80mg. However, the 160mg dose was not taken off the market by Purdue, except in response to extreme public concern – and related fatalities.

Purdue Pharma has been sued by people claiming that their lives have been badly affected as a result of having become unintentional victims of Oxycontin addiction. Recently, Perdue has made moves to make the packaging of Oxycontin more secure against taking the content in one hit.

Despite known risks doctors continue to push Oxycontin for pain relief because it is on the market and readily available. People concerned about the risk of oxy addiction should view the Narconon Trois-Rivières PSA video and consider their options.
