THE FACTS OF OXYCONTIN ADDICTION At Passages, we have helped countless individuals overcome OxyContin addiction. We've learned that all cases of dependency stem from the following problems: 1. Imbalances that occur in brain chemistry. At Passages Addiction Cure Center, we do not cite genetics as one of the causes of OxyContin addiction. Countless individuals who develop addictions to prescription opiates like OxyContin have no history of chemical dependency of any kind in their family trees. Additionally, plenty of patients with chemically dependency relatives are able to use OxyContin as prescribed without ever abusing the drug or developing an opiate addiction. At Passages, we believe addiction amounts to more than simply an expression of genetics. Our clinical experience in addiction has demonstrated to us that addiction simply isn't the incurable "disease" it is portrayed as at so many addiction treatment centers. We hold that addiction is merely a symptom of a larger problem--and once these root issues have been successfully resolved, the drive to use OxyContin will disappear. Instead of placing the burden of relapse prevention on our clients' shoulders, at Passages, we believe successful treatment will eliminate relapse once and for all. We partner with our clients to seek out and treat any physical or emotional causes of OxyContin addiction, so that program graduates can experience true healing--without fear of relapse. Whether beginning with legitimately prescribed usage or used recreationally, OxyContin is a powerful opiate with high addiction potential. Containing the time-released drug oxycodone (Percocet), OxyContin acts as a prescription pain reliever, often used to treat ongoing pain from injuries such as dislocations or bone fractures, post-surgical pain, muscular pain, arthritis, and pain from chronic illnesses such as cancer. However, due to its time-release formula, OxyContin carries a strong addiction potential. Additionally, many users crush and otherwise alter OxyContin, to experience the time-released medication in one dose--leading to dangerous respiratory failure and fatal overdoses. As part of the opiate class of drugs, OxyContin is derived from the opium poppy and causes similar reactions to morphine and heroin. Users generally experience analgesic effects, a sense of euphoria, general relaxation and sedation for up to 12 hours. Like other opiates, OxyContin can create severe withdrawal symptoms when usage suddenly stops--making OxyContin addiction incredibly difficult to detox from alone. Strong cravings for the drug tend to take hold, and side effects of OxyContin withdrawal can include exhaustion, profuse sweating, hot and cold flashes, irregular heartbeat, profuse vomiting, severe diarrhea, and muscle and bone pains. Mentally, OxyContin withdrawal can be taxing as well, causing insomnia, depression, anxiety and even suicidal ideation. At Passages, we have years of experience helping people safely detox from OxyContin and other opiates. Our addiction staff assembles some of the foremost experts in the world to work one-on-one with patients to help them overcome their physical and psychological addiction to OxyContin. With safe, confidential private therapy offered by a multidisciplinary staff, mental causes of OxyContin addiction can be unearthed and resolved, once and for all.
 While opium derived drugs have been used for thousands of years for pain relief, with ongoing use, they initiate important changes in brain chemistry. As the body adapts, tolerance increases, increasing the need for higher and more frequent doses of the drug. Over time, the brain's natural levels of balance become disrupted, leading OxyContin users to feel harsh withdrawal symptoms when use stops and the imbalance is felt in the brain and body. At Passages Addiction Cure Center, we gently guide clients through the OxyContin withdrawal process with maximum comfort and care. Medically supervised detox is provided, using a natural approach with small doses of medication to alleviate OxyContin withdrawal symptoms and ensure a stress-free detox experience. Any pains, digestive issues, nausea and cravings that are associated with opiate withdrawal can be mitigated, to ensure minimal discomfort. At Passages, we ensure that clients detoxing from OxyContin and similar opiates experience a restful, peaceful experience as they withdraw from the drug. Our OxyContin Detox Program offers nursing care every day around the clock, with skilled staff to monitor vital signs and tend to patient needs. With a high three-to-one staff-to-patient ratio, our groundbreaking OxyContin detox process ensures that each and every patient's needs are continually met during their withdrawal experience. At Passages, we offer genuine and thorough psychological and physical healing for patients battling OxyContin addiction--and we offer the same high standard of care in our Ativan Rehab and Opium Rehab programs, as well.
Our professional detox program marks the beginning of healing, but at Passages we offer so much more. Our customized approach to treatment is tailored for each individual--allowing them to explore and resolve the deeper reasons for their OxyContin addiction that might not be apparent on first glance. At Passages Addiction Cure Center, people find freedom from past traumatic events, deep fears, low self esteem, physical pain and health issues that lie at the core of their addictions. Once these reasons for addiction have been resolved, there's no longer a need to self-medicate with OxyContin or other drugs to alleviate emotional or physical pain. At Passages, we find that one of the hardest parts of recovery is simply helping clients unlearn the "disease" paradigm they've learned at other treatment centers. By embracing the identity of an "alcoholic" or "addict," dependent individuals feel hopeless, living in powerlessness and perpetual fear of relapse. At Passages, we quite simply know this is not true. You are a whole individual with a purpose. Your addiction is not a "disease," but merely a symptom that something in you needs healing. At Passages, our clients experience empowerment in the face of addiction, as we partner with them to overcome OxyContin dependency once and for all. We specialize in hope at Passages. We believe in a cure for each and every one of our clients--and with good cause. We have witnessed countless individuals with long-standing and multiple addictions transform their lives once they realize there's a cure for their addiction. |

COMPLETE, HOLISTIC OXYCONTIN REHABILITATION
Based on this belief in a cure, we founded Passages Addiction Cure Center set against the gorgeous Pacific coastline in Malibu, California. In this inspirational environment, we offer an intensive, holistic treatment program that approaches addiction from all angles. Each client of ours is matched with ten of the field's top therapists, working with you on a first-name, one-on-one basis. We take the time to get to know each client and any physical, emotional or psychological issues they may have, so our collaborative team can custom-tailor a cure that truly works for each individual.
At Passages, we've gathered the finest minds in addiction recovery to help heal your OxyContin addiction with tools that resonate and work. After years of helping clients overcome OxyContin addiction, we've learned the deep impact OxyContin abuse can have--and we seek to not only heal OxyContin addiction, but the collateral damage caused by years of addiction.
While many OxyContin addiction treatment centers seek sobriety through 12-step meetings and group therapy sessions, at Passages, we've found the most effective therapy is targeted and personalized. For this reason, Passages gives each client more than 60 hours of individualized therapy each month. Clients sit down on a one-on-one basis with their therapists, in a confidential and safe atmosphere that allows accurate diagnosis and deep healing to take place. We offer three to four personalized therapy sessions each day, five days a week--as opposed to a single weekly private counseling session offered by most rehab centers.
Our collaborative treatment team approach gathers 10 therapists to join forces in treating each client's addiction--even reviewing progress and adjusting treatment on a weekly basis to ensure the best route to a cure. Each client is treated as an individual, and solutions are carefully considered based on their lifestyle, learning style, emotional state, body chemistry and personal history. Each client receives a dedicated team of therapists, including therapy in the form of psychotherapy, spiritual counseling, hypnotherapy to unearth buried traumas, and marriage and family therapy to restore broken relationships and heal negative dynamics. We also provide each client with continuing care, life coaching, body work, massage, physical training, nutritional guidance and comprehensive diagnostic testing. This round approach allows each client to be healed in all areas of their being, so they can experience the joy and freedom of sobriety without relapse.
