Toronto, ON -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/15/2011 -- Active, healthy people sometimes fall victim to accidents and illnesses that result in pain. Most of the time, these conditions are temporary. Sadly, however, the treatment can end up being worse than the illness, and addiction occurs. OxyContin is a popular pain medication in Ontario often prescribed by doctors and also a readily available street drug. What may begin as a method of pain relief often becomes the pain of OxyContin addiction.

Unlike alcohol or cocaine, OxyContin is not something people usually encounter at a party. Rather, it is a drug prescribed by physicians for relief of pain. OxyContin, in reality, causes just as much pain as it relieves. Those same healthy, active people become trapped in a world of addiction that causes their lives to begin spiraling downward. This video provides a brief glimpse into the sudden changes that occur with OxyContin addiction. (http://www.oxycontinaddict.org) The pain of addiction continues far longer than pain from accident or illness.

OxyContin causes a euphoric reaction (http://addiction.narcononrehab.com/oxycontin-addiction-stories/my-painful-oxycontin-trip-part-2) in people by blocking pain receptors and affecting the central nervous system. It is this reaction that causes addiction. However, a tolerance is built up, so people need increasing amounts of the drug in order to achieve the same results. This is one of the first signs of possible addiction. Another indication is that even after the physical pain is gone, the person will still seek out OxyContin. If they cannot get it from a doctor, they will get it elsewhere. Like other addictions, it causes people to do whatever possible to obtain the drug up to and including, lying and stealing.

OxyContin, sometimes called Oxy is highly addictive and changes a person not only mentally, but physically and spiritually. Since this is the case, a person who has become addicted to OxyContin must be treated physically, mentally and spiritually. This kind of comprehensive treatment is offered by Narconon. The life of an addict is never truly a happy one. All thoughts and actions of the addict are geared toward obtaining more OxyContin. Narconon can help addicts rebuild their lives and leave the pain of addiction behind.

Drug rehab and drug education non profit redoubles its offensive against drinking and driving in Canada.

Trois-Rivières, Québec -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/08/2011 -- The drug rehabilitation centre and drug education non profit organization, Narconon Trois-Rivieres, today steps up its anti drink driving campaign with the release of its new Public Service Announcement video Drinking and Driving in Canada.

The video which can be found on Narconon Trois-Rivieres' YouTube channel warns of the dangers of drink driving and reminds viewers that this is a serious issue and one that needs to be taken seriously. The problem is not only getting worse but it is a big killer on canadian roads.

"In 2008, approximately 1,751,100 cars were involved in accidents in Canada," the PSA claims. "Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) Canada estimates that approximately 149,028 of these crashes involved drinking and driving. In this same year, 1,162 fatalities were caused by drinking and driving on the canadian roads. These numbers are increasing year after year. Drink responsibly. Drive responsibly. This message was brought to you by Narconon Trois-Rivieres alcohol rehab center.

A second anti drink driving video is planned for the very near future, and this campaign is the latest in many that Narconon Trois-Rivieres has run over the years.

"We feel so strongly about this issue that we are determined to do something about it - especially to reduce the number of innocent children who are needlessly losing their lives in Canada due to drink driving. We sincerely hope that our new PSA will make a difference. Please encourage others to watch it," says JF Dubreuil of Narconon Trois-Rivieres.
