Oxycontin Addiction

Oxycontin can be as addictive as heroin. Many Oxycontin users develop tolerance to the drug very rapidly, needing to take increasingly larger or more frequent doses in order to recreate the high they felt with their original dose. Oxycontin abuse begins when an individual takes the drug in greater amounts, more frequently, or by different means than prescribed by a doctor. While addiction to Oxycontin may begin with medically sanctioned prescription use, the end result is often the same regardless of whether the use started legally or illegally. When an individual begins to experiment with snorting, chewing, or injecting Oxycontin, the abusive behaviors can quickly transition into addiction.

Oxycontin addicts often deny and defend their addiction both to themselves and others, particularly during the beginning stages. Because the drug can be prescribed by a doctor, many falsely believe it is safer or less addictive than street drugs.
