Over the years as an Addictions Counselor, especially in the most recent years I have come across individuals addicted to oxycotin more so than crack, cocaine, heroin and others. Oxycontin is obtained through Doctors, or on the street from dealers. It will give the individual a high similar to high-grade heroin. The addiction is extremely powerful, and causes cravings mentally and physically, extremely irrational decisions are made by the individuals taking the drug motivating them to seek to drug any way they know how.
