TROIS-RIVIERES, Quebec, Nov. 4 /PRNewswire/ -- "I got into a car accident and
they took me out with the Jaws of Life; in the hospital they gave me Tylenol
3, but it wasn't enough," stated Cliff Van Rossum in a new video interview
with Narconon Trois-Rivieres. Like many others in his position who became
addicted to OxyContin, it typically starts out with some form of injury
requiring pain management. Unfortunately, many of these individuals become
physically and psychologically dependent to OxyContin.
"It's becoming an all too common scenario throughout Canada right now; our
Intake Counsellors receive calls every day from OxyContin addicts looking for
ways to get off the drug," commented Nick Hayes, a certified chemical
dependency counsellor with Narconon Trois-Rivieres. "The typical scenario is a
person will require these drugs for pain management, but will ignore the
Doctors warning about their addictive potential," said Hayes.
In this in-depth interview Cliff takes the viewer step-by-step, beginning at
his car accident and going on to how he started to "doctor shop" to acquire
his prescriptions for OxyContin. He describes in great detail the initial high
and feeling he got from taking Percocet and how eventually he needed something
stronger from his doctor, which was later OxyContin. "It was a feel-good
feeling, like something I never experienced before," stated Cliff in the
interview.
Because OxyContin is a time-release formula over twelve hours, most addicts
will have to chew, crush up and snort, or inject the drug to get the immediate
euphoric effect of the Oxycodone, which is the primary pain reliever in
OxyContin.
Cliff is one of the many people today who has successfully beaten a
potentially deadly OxyContin addiction and has gone on to live a drug-free
life. Today Cliff is now working his full-time job, but has created a drug and
alcohol rehabilitation center referral website
http://www.substanceabusecounselor.net/ that specifically helps addicts find
the right treatment options.
