I’ve been addicted to oxycodone for the past 2 years. Before anyone corrects me, I’m not dependent on prescribed medication, I’m addicted to prescription medication not prescribed to me. I’m ready to quit, because I’m tired of the financial strain it’s put on me, and because I’m sick and tired of going through these massive withdrawals when I don’t have any. I don’t know what to do, I’ve kept this completely hidden from family and friends this whole time, I’ve got no one to turn to, and no idea where to start on the road to recovery. I’ve heard of the traditional methadone treatment, but I’ve heard dependency develops with that, too. Also, I’ve heard of Suboxone treatment but my supplier told me his wife is on it, and the doctor told her she’d be on it the rest of her life. I wanna get off pills, not switch to another alternative. I am far too terrified to jus go cold turkey, and get over it, I tried once, but after 8 days, the withdrawals had not let up and I relapsed. I’m so lost, if it helps anyone to give me advice, I’ve been taking 3, 80mg OxyContins for the past 2 years, everyday. That’s 320mg everyday. Is there anyone who’s gone through this before? What can I do? Please no judgemental answers, I feel terrible enough, considering I’m only 18, and am already an addict, and have gone through alcoholism, meth addiction, and nicotine addiction. I need help, can anyone help me?
