Signs of Oxycodone Abuse.

OxyContin was developed to treat patients with chronic pain. One of the main health benefits of OxyContin is its ability to treat pain for up to 12 hours due to a time-release component within the drug. Over the course of 12 hours, the drug releases Oxycodone. Individuals who abuse OxyContin use alternative methods of administration in order to eliminate the time-release mechanism of the drug. Users often crush the tablet to swallow, snort or smoke the drug.
