Oxycontin is rapidly becoming a large problem for the city of Grand Prairie, Alberta. This drug which is a slow-release form of oxycodone, works like morphine in its effect and addictiveness. In order to experience the effects of the drug as quickly as possible, many users will chew or crush it and inhale it producing a rapid heroin-like effect euphoria.
One of the biggest problems that has been experienced are people visiting multiple clinics to get prescriptions for the pills from more than one source which allows them to buy more pills than they could from one doctor. A pill that is purchased for $4 in a pharmacy can be sold for as much as ten times that much on the street. With so many people using this drug, it is a lucrative market for dealers, and many people are taking advantage of that, even stooping to stealing to get the drugs that they need to sell to their “clients”.
The problem with this drug being so widespread and readily available is that this drug is one that is also very dangerous drug that can affect the entire body in many negative ways, as well as being a large contributor to the drug related deaths; statistics show that between 2004 and 2009, more than 450 people are estimated to have died in one province in Canada from overdoses involving oxycodone.
The city of Grand Prairie is taking steps to ensure that this drug is being regulated, as well as working to reduce the number of addicts roaming the streets looking for dealers who can supply them with these drugs. They are working on more training for family doctors as well as better tools to track patients and purchase of this drug.
But before it gets to that, it would be very important to get an addict to go through withdrawal at an Oxycontin detox program. Withdrawal symptoms are often very hard on the recovering addict. Afterwards, it would be good that he or she attend drug rehab center for Oxycontin addiction in order to get over all aspects of addiction.
