Drug Addiction

Oxycontin
oxycodone HCl controlled-release

The cravings for Oxycontin are the result of the impact on the person's memory with feelings of pleasure and euphoria that the person associates with the taking of medication. The subconscious memory then motivates the person to seek for oxycontin because of its false imprint of Oxycontin.

Oxycontin contains oxycodone, a really strong narcotic pain killer with similarity to morphine. Oxycontin is made in a way that the oxycodone is slowly released over time.

Oxycontin Addiction is a physical dependency that you cannot avoid when a person is exposed to high dosages of the oxycontin for a extended lenght of time. The body then adapts and start having a tolerance for Oxycontin. Oxycontin is so powerful that it produces a great amount cravings.

Regulation

Regulation of oxycodone (and opioids in general) varies according to nations, with different places focusing on different parts of the "supply chain".

Regulation in Canada

In Canada, Oxycodone is a regulated drug under Schedule I of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA). Every individual who looks for or obtain the substance without disclosing authorization to obtain such substances 30 days prior to obtaining another prescription from a practitioner is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding seven years. Possession for purpose of trafficking is guilty of an indictable crime and liable to life imprisonment.

Regulation in the USA

Regulation of prescription substances comes from many different regions. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) authorizes drugs for medical use, as well as sets regulations for the marketing of drugs, including regulated substances. The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) on the other hand, receives its regulatory authority from the Controlled Substances Act (CSA) [21 U.S.C. §§ 801-971], which "mandates that DEA prevent, detect and investigate the diversion of legitimately produced controlled substances while, at the same time, ensuring that there are adequate supplies to meet the legitimate medical needs in the United States".

Part of the regulation of prescription substances is connected to their marketing and advertising. The FDA has authority over this sector under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act and its implementing regulations. The Division of Drug Marketing, Advertising, and Communications (DDMAC) is "responsible for controlling prescription substance advertising and promotion," and has a "mission is to protect the public health by ensuring that prescription drug information is truthful, balanced, and accurately communicated".
