OxyContin, often referred to as Oxys, is a time-released pain medication. OxyContin contains oxycodone, which is an opioid drug, like morphine, codeine, heroin and methadone. It was developed in 1995 for people needing around-the-clock pain relief, so they don’t have to take pills as often. When taken as prescribed, OxyContin is safe, but when it is taken in other ways, it can be very dangerous.

When using OxyContin regularly to get high, your body builds up a tolerance very quickly. This means in order to get the same feeling you will need to use more of the drug; and the higher the dose, the greater the risks. In very high doses, OxyContin can produce deep sleep that may progress to coma or death.
