Oxycontin Abuse

When used properly, prescription drugs like Oxycontin can provide much-needed relief for legitimate pain. Proper use means taking the drug as directed by the doctor: in the appropriate doses, at the appropriate times, and in the appropriate way. If someone deviates from any of these three categories – that is, takes a higher dose, takes a dose more often than directed, or experiments with other methods of administration – it constitutes abusive behavior. As abuse of Oxycontin increases, the likelihood of developing an Oxycontin addiction increases as well.

Most abusers and addicts attempt to hide their problem for as long as possible both from themselves and others, and if you are seeing red flags, the addiction may be farther along than you realize.
