Oxycontin is a widely prescribed painkiller and is a slow-release form of oxycodone which is like morphine in its effect and addictiveness. Many people who use this drug will chew or crush it and inhale it. When this is done, it produces a rapid "heroin-like effect euphoria.” One recovering addict said "It's a whole warm sensation throughout your body, like all your troubles, all your worries fade away."

It is alarming that six years ago, most of the patients at Harvest House, a rehab center in Canada, which has offered a variety of Oxycontin rehabilitation programs for more than 30 years, most residents in the drug program were getting treatment for addiction to crack cocaine, and that now, Oxycontin is the most common drug addiction among residents with the trend still growing.

Critics say the drug is given out too freely, a phenomenon related to double doctoring — people who visit multiple doctors complaining of pain symptoms to obtain the narcotic for resale purposes. Dealers of this drug can often take a pill that is purchased for $4 each at a pharmacy and sell them for as much as ten times that much on the street. This has led to an increase on pharmacy robberies as well.

Unfortunately, this is a very dangerous drug as well and statistics show that this drug has one of the highest mortality rates for overdose than many other drugs.
