There are some things that make one of these Mississauga rehab center locations more effective than others and first and foremost is their approach to the entire treatment question. The best of these places understand that 100% natural detox and rehabilitation is the preferred method and that while use doesn’t automatically lead to abuse, there are some common symptoms like anxiety or depression that can trigger the beginning of a problem.

A family history of one kind of addiction or another can be seen as an early warning sign and traumatic childhood experiences can be another indicator a person might have a problem. Getting the right help is all about finding the right drug rehab Ontario that understands the nature of the problem and how to treat it with drug-free biophysical detoxification coupled with the right life skills training.

A 2009 student poll showed that alcohol is the most commonly used drug in Ontario, with over 58% of students reporting use during the previous 12 months.  Following marijuana (25.6%), the non-medical use of prescription opioid pain relievers, such as codeine, Percocet, Percodan, Demerol, or Tylenol #3, ranks third at almost 18%.

Up until a couple of years ago, a small percentage of calls into the Ontario Drug & Alcohol Helpline involved prescription drugs; now that figure averages about 50%.

The first step for those addicted to opiates who want to get off the drugs is to detox.  The detoxification process cleanses your body of drug residue that is left in your system, but many drug treatment centers will give a patient methadone to help relieve the pain of coming off the drug. Methadone is actually a stronger pain medication; in theory, the dosage is decreased gradually until no longer needed. Methadone, however, has many side effects, one of the most serious being depressed respiratory system.  Also, the patient has the possibility of becoming addicted to the methadone instead of the original opiate; being a stronger pain reliever, it also creates a stronger dependency, making it very difficult to kick the addiction.

The Narconon program uses a unique natural drug-free biophysical detoxification combined with extensive life skills and educational models of treatment. Narconon is the only treatment center in the world that provides a biophysical detoxification program. This uniquely designed program gives our clients an opportunity to naturally clean their body out of all drug and alcohol toxins and poisons.

The Road to OxyContin Addiction video – A true story

In 2009, the CBC reported that doctors were to be given a “guide” about Oxycontin prescriptions. This occurred because the Canadian Medical Association had found that 300 people die from the drug each year in Ontario. Studies so far have covered Ontario proper, and normally do not state statistics concerning the Toronto area alone. Regardless, Toronto officials have realized that bringing Oxycontin into Canada has caused problems that may be very difficult to solve.

The Health Minister, Deb Matthews said in 2010 that she wanted to introduce legislation that would track prescriptions for all health plans, public and private. Officials are well aware of the growing problems that are involved with Oxycontin addictions. Overall, they are very concerned about the level of prescriptions written, use, and level of abuse of Oxycontin in Toronto. In one study mentioned by the Health Minister, one patient was given over 2000 Oxycontin pills.

With only three months into 2011, headlines are already being made about the rise in crime due to Oxycontin. A string of pharmacy robberies in Toronto were targeted for Oxycontin robbery in February of this year. Also in February, a popular Pizza restaurant was involved in a drug bust which yielded $1 million in drugs. These are only two of the examples of how Oxycontin is making the headlines in Toronto, and not in a good way.

Oxycontin was allowed into Canada because it was claimed to have been a proven method of pain relief. Since that time, it has become much more a source of trouble and devastation than pain relief. As far as the levels of Oxycontin and Oxycodone in Toronto, they show no signs of slowing. In fact, chances are, judging from the news, it is increasing every day. As long as doctors continue to prescribe the drug, there will be those becoming addicted.

If you know someone addicted to OxyContin, you can get help for them by calling Narconon Trois-Rivières: 1-877-782-7409.

Lance Armstrong’s book is a celebration of life, about facing personal challenge, and overcoming adversity.

There is no doubt that addiction to OxyContin in Ontario is a problem that needs to be fixed.

A report in the Canadian Family Physician of March 2011 provides some chilling statistics for prescription opioid use in that of 408 people who died in Ontario province in 2006 due to opioid use – 102 received their final prescription before death from a family doctor. More than half of these patients were attending a doctor who is recorded as being a frequent over prescriber of opioid medications.

Opioid medications are easily diverted to illicit use by re-sale of prescription drugs on the street, and theft. There have been reports of pharmacy staff being party to OxyContin theft with a technician in Windsor having illegally diverted around 10,350 OxyContin tablets, by forgery and fraud – making a profit of around $31,000 over a period of several months. According to prosecutors, the street value of these drugs would have been around $184,000. When the employee was caught, in March 2009, he was in the process of exchanging 600 OxyContin pills for $2,000 from a drug dealer.

Government statistics reveal that between 1991 and 2009, oxycodone prescription use in Ontario increased by 900%. Partly driven by drug addicted patients who are not informed, don’t understand that oxycodone is not a drug to use on demand – it is between 1.5 and twice as powerful and addictive as the analgesic narcotic morphine. Partly driven by doctors under pressure to deliver pain relief, without due regard for other options, encouraged by big pharma.

For Ontario the Calgary Herald reports, in February2011, that 1 in 5 Eastern Ontario high school kids have used OxyContin, Percocet or Demerol at least once, without prescription in the past year. Rural and depressed urban areas appear to be those that are the most vulnerable to widespread community drug abuse. People and children raised and living in a drug environment are most likely to take up drug use in response to peer influence.

Cornwall is a centre for community Oxy abuse. Dr Paul Roumeliotis, Chief of Health for the area reports that nine adults and teens have died in the last 18 months, due to OxyContin overdose. What concerns him most is that these people were addicted, yet didn’t seem to be looking for help until brought in as casualties. A significant rise in petty crime and prostitution is noted, people seeking money to feed an Oxy addiction. Oxy is very easy to get hooked on, in some Ontario homes, both parents and children are using Oxy, and are addicted.

Canadians in general now use more opioids per head than any other country except the USA and Belgium with opioid use increasing over the last ten years

People in Ontario have hope of Oxy addiction recovery if they choose drug-free OxyContin addiction treatment centers that releases the body from physical addiction and supports people towards living a drug-free life, after successful detox.

Accidents can happen in a fraction of a second. When someone’s reaction time is slowed by the effects of alcohol, and their judgment is impaired, they cannot respond correctly to any variance in the road or driving conditions, let alone the actions of another vehicle. They often swerve without realizing it, and then over correct the error. At times, it is obvious to others on the road that a driver has been drinking, but not always. Drivers should never attempt to engage an impaired driver. Stay away from their vehicle as much as possible and contact law enforcement.

Not just in Ontario but also in all Canadian provinces, thousands and thousands of tax and insurance dollars are spent every year for emergency medicine, rehabilitation and property damage resulting from drinking and driving. The human cost is even higher. People have to bury loved ones because of an accident that was completely avoidable. People who drink generally do not drive with the intent of hurting other people. In fact, they often do not even realize they are impaired. That is part of the problem with alcohol. It often is only after an accident that people realize they should not have been operating a motor vehicle. Some continue to deny their problem even after an accident.

Narconon reaches out to communities offering information and rehabilitation to those who need it. Communities need to be aware of the growing problem with drinking and driving. After a 20 year decline, accidents involving alcohol are again on the rise. If the problem of alcohol abuse were addressed, the number would again decline. Education and law enforcement are needed in order to convince people that drinking and driving will not be tolerated. Young people should learn of the dangers of drinking and driving before they even attempt to learn to drive. It’s time to realize that drinking and driving accidents don’t always happen to someone else.

In 2003, 100 people who died had OxyContin in their system at the time of death. The population of the greater Toronto area is over 5 million, which means that if 100 people died having Oxy in their system, many more are using the drug on a regular basis, many addicted. Substance abuse centers, such as those run by Narconon, are seeing an increase in the number of OxyContin addiction intakes.

New laws are being initiated to track the purchase and use of OxyContin, which should help to some degree. Of course, drugs bought off the street cannot be tracked. Prescriptions for Oxy, Valium, Codeine, Morphine and Ritalin that are purchased in Ontario will be tracked. It will track the sale and dispense of these drugs, even through private health plans.

Alarmingly, the diversity of those becoming addicted to Oxycodone is increasing. The First Nations communities are being hard hit by injury and death resulting from the use of Oxy. One study, as reported by the CBC, done on the student population in Ontario showed that 1 in 5 teenaged girls admitted using OxyCodone and other Opiod painkillers without a prescription. They often obtained the drugs from their parent’s prescription bottles.

Narconon, a leading rehabilitation center in Canada and the United States, is continuing on the fight to end OxyCodone and OxyContin addiction. They provide drug and alcohol addiction material as well as a successful rehab program. The increase in addictions is alarming, and the news must be spread across Canada and the United States. Drug abuse in Toronto has a high concentration of OxyContin addicts, largely because the drug is so easily and readily prescribed and overused.

Drug abuse in Toronto is not new, but it is increasing at an alarming rate. The newest measures to track the use of OxyContin will undoubtedly help, but more is needed. Friends and loved ones of suspected addicts are urged to find out more about OxyContin addiction and what can be done.

OxyCodone is an opiate, which is used in conjunction with other medications. It is often combined with Tylenol or ibuprofen. The medications that use OxyCodone are all normally released shortly after swallowing the pill. Pain relief can last from about 4-6 hours. These are prescribed for many people who are enduring pain, such as those who have sustained injuries or after surgery. Although the OxyCodone is mixed with other ingredients, it still can cause addiction. It is prepared with Tylenol or ibuprofen, so taking too much of it induces vomiting.

OxyContin is a brand pharmaceutical, and the ONLY ingredient in it is OxyCodone. Because of this, it is much stronger. It is also designed to be time released, which is why chewing or crushing the tablet is not recommended. Addiction to OxyContin is very common, in fact, there is a public call to reduce the number of OxyContin prescriptions given out by doctors. Once addicted, people will chew or crush the pill (or more likely; open the capsule), in order to get a higher concentration of the drug, and forego the time release feature.

Therefore, OxyContin is pure OxyCodone, whereas OxyCodone is mixed with other analgesics. OxyContin is more addictive, stronger, and is designed to be time released. Those with an addiction usually prefer OxyContin in order to obtain a stronger dosage of the drug. Both are prescription drugs but can also be found sold on the streets. They are considered popular “recreational drugs”. Great care should be used when taking either of these drugs.

Those taking OxyConin or OxyCodone (and their loved ones) should be aware of the dangers and symptoms of addiction. Obviously, opening an OxyContin capsule and snorting the contents is a big indicator. Also, wanting or needing the drug after the pain is gone is another indication that there may be an addiction. People may begin to fake injury in order to try to convince a doctor they need OxyContin. The best way to stop an addiction is never to let it start. Extreme caution should be used with OxyCodone and OxyContin.

While on the surface, Ontario appears to be a normal city, bustling with working commuters and homemakers going about their business, there is a darker side.
