The Road to OxyContin Addiction - the Story

Oxycontin has been called “Hillbilly Heroin”, and for a very good reason; it costs much less, but still ruins lives. It is easily available to those who learn to manipulate their doctor into giving them medication they don’t actually need.

Cliff, the man being interviewed, gives a poignant account of how his addiction to Oxycontin had actually began with a prescription for Tylenol 3 that he had received after an injury. Sadly, this is how many addicts begin their terrible journey. "His story is typical of how someone can begin taking a drug for medical reasons, but wind up taking a harder drug" reports JF Dubreuil of Narconon Trois-Rivieres.

Cliff’s story actually began back before there was a database created which helps prevent prescription fraud, so he simply went from one doctor to another getting the desired drug. There are so many people who did that very same thing. Like Cliff, since the database, they now just go back to their own doctor and complain of pain stating they need something stronger. The video shows just how easy it really was, and is, not only to develop an Oxycontin addiction, but how easy it is to feed it.

Oxycontin has been called “Hillbilly Heroin”, and for a very good reason; it costs much less, but still ruins lives. It is easily available to those who learn to manipulate their doctor into giving them medication they don’t actually need. Oxycontin and Oxycodone addicts did not intend to destroy their lives. Most were given a prescription for pain for a valid injury or surgery, but ended up with an addiction. There are so many people who have been helped by Narconon began their addiction quite innocently. Cliff is just one of them.

His story illustrates just how easy it is to go from a normal, happy person to a desperate addict. Rehab has been a life-saver for many of these individuals. Narconon is a rehab center which incorporates natural healing for those with Oxy addictions, including Oxycontin and Oxycodone. They do not substitute drugs, but use comprehensive methods in order to treat the whole person; physically, mentally and spiritually. Individuals, such as Cliff, have learned from Narconon how to put Oxy addiction behind them and lead a better life, free from drugs.

Oxycontin addiction can happen to anyone. There is no age boundary, nor income limitations. It is an addiction that begins so innocently for many. There are many groups and individuals beginning to hold doctors accountable for their leniency in prescribing pain medications. Still, there are far too many being given out. Cliff bravely told his story so Narconon could reach out to help others with similar addictions.
