The active ingredient in Oxycontin is oxycodone; a synthetic opiate most often prescribed for chronic pain. It is extremely potent, and whe atken as prescibed by a physician it is effective at releiving pain after an operation, severe dental pain and in terminal cancer patients.

Oxycontin has a very long half-life and when combined with its potency, a very high risk for abuse and addiction. The line that seperates medically approved use and non-medical abuse is an easy one to cross; once a person does begin abusing Oxycontin attempts at stopping without professional help generally fail. The cravings and the bodies reaction to not having the drug are simply too powerful. Even attempts at titrating down to lower dosages can bring about severe symptoms of withdrawal, depression and anxiety.

Despite the high levels of physical and emotional discomfort a patient feels when they try to cut down or stop altogether, addiction to Oxycontin is in fact very treatable, especially with Subutex and Suboxone (buprenorphine).
