People are mixing drugs to enhance, produce and stretch out their own preferred hallucinogenic high and calling the concoction “trail mix”. Illegal drug use can be risky and lead to addiction. Mixing drugs can increase the danger and the problems. There does not seem to be one set formula for “trail mix”. Some crush ecstasy and add the veterinary tranquilizer Ketamine. Some include methamphetamine, known as “crystal meth,” or cocaine, or both stimulants. Blending drugs is chancy and an unsafe practice risking drug addiction, overdose and death.

The non-medical use of prescription opioids has increased dramatically in and around Vancouver, British Columbia says the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. Meanwhile, Canada.com reports a “significant increase” in adolescent substance abuse In British Columbia, and leading physicians mark a 5-fold increase in oxycodone related deaths in the Province. Addiction workers in Vancouver said in a CBC report that they see more exotic drugs than ever on the street. Clearly, traditional methods of dealing with prescription drug abuse are not working well.
Traditional drug detoxification (“detox”) puts your willpower to the test. Opiate drugs work by attaching to the opiate receptors in your brain. That’s what creates the feeling of euphoria and brings pain relief. Unfortunately, as the drug wears off, you begin to experience withdrawal – you crave it. The longer you’ve been using the drug, the tougher it fights to hold onto you. As a recent video from the US National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA/NIH) confirms, opiates can become addicting.
Yet you know that you want your life back … you want to quit.
Help is waiting. The Rapid Detox (RDD) Center in Troy, Michigan, invented the RDD Method™ for detoxification from opiates and other addicting drugs. So it is not surprising that patients come to the Center from all over the world to get safe, medically-supervised Rapid Drug Detoxification.
Why do men and women suffering from drug addiction travel to a small town in the United States to put an end to their drug addiction? Because the Center has developed a “detox” method that works. It’s fast, it’s effective, and it’s almost pain free. Instead of weeks, even months, of painful withdrawal, rapid anesthesia detoxification (The RDD Method™) leaves you clean in 3 days and eliminates most of the withdrawal symptoms.
The RDD Method™ works by “cleansing” the addicting drug from your brain’s opiate receptors. It even eases you successfully through the “rebound anxiety” that often accompanies detoxification.
The actual procedure takes about an hour. After a brief, painless series of tests, you are admitted to the operating room (O.R.). There, an experienced, board certified anesthesiologist gives you a medication to relax, and then administers a light, general anesthesia , while you rest comfortably. Meanwhile, a team of experienced doctors “scrubs” the opiate receptors in your body, using an infusion of intravenous medications.
With the opiate drugs removed from your receptors, the worst of the withdrawal is over while you are under anesthesia.
Because the treatment is quick, it’s inexpensive. To learn more about RDD Method™, call the RDD Wellness Center and speak with an experienced, professional nurse or intake coordinator. The consultation is free … and it could free you or your loved one from addiction. Call them at 1-866-399-2967.

As media picked up the story and brought more attention to the exploitation and abuse of veterans at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Tomah, Wisconsin, the pressure of scrutinizing the facility’s chief of staff, psychiatrist Dr. David Houlihan and the hospital’s questionable methods are underway.
The amount of Veterans seeking care at the hospital declined, yet Oxycodone pills given out escalated from 50,000 to 712,000. The number of opiate prescriptions written from 2004 to 2012 at the VA Hospital increased fivefold. The VA Hospital drugged patients with narcotics causing addiction, overdose and even death, instead of setting proper standards, offering quality patient care, and providing alternative methods for pain relief.
Investigation into Houlihan has found that there are serious concerns with the amount of opioid prescriptions written. Houlihan himself said doctors at the Tomah VA are using the opiate Suboxone for treatment of veterans.
Jason Simcakoski died at the VA Hospital of an overdose under Houlihan’s watch. He went into the hospital for treatment of severe anxiety and addiction to painkillers. Jason died after the VA Hospital added Suboxone to his list of cocktails.

Oxycodone is a powerful “opioid analgesic.” While it can relieve pain, it is highly addictive. You may have taken it by any of several different brand names, including OxyFast, OxyIR, Percolone, Roxicodone, Eukodal, Dinarkon, or Supeudol. Sometimes, it is combined with aspirin, and then you may know it as Percodan, Endodan or Roxiprin. When combined with acetaminophen, it is known as Percocet, Endocet, Roxicet and Tylox.
The more you use Oxycodone, the more you need, which leads to addiction. The National Institute of Health stated recently that 52 million teens and adults use their prescription drugs non-medically. Medical News Today recently reported that an increasing number of babies are born addicted “due to opioid overprescription.”
The National Institute of Health reports that drug-related visits to hospital emergency rooms spiked sharply recently – oxycodone-induced visits alone increased 242.2 percent. A recent video from Science Daily points out, taxpayers are footing the bill.
Symptoms of addiction can include shallow breathing, respiratory arrest (you stop breathing), flabby skeletal muscles, or even a drop in blood pressure and your heart rate, which can bring on a coma and death.
Oxycodone withdrawal is often a painful process, particularly after heavy use. Your withdrawal symptoms may resemble heroin withdrawal, including sweating, heart spasms, body and muscle ache, diarrhea, watery eyes, sneezing, “goose bump cool” skin, pale and clammy skin, nausea with or without vomiting, chills, trembling, abdominal cramping, convulsions, dehydration, restlessness, leg spasms or kicking, insomnia, and mood disturbances.
In short, detox is tough when you try to go it alone. The Rapid Drug Detox (RDD) Center developed a better way. The RDD Center’s Anesthesia Oxycodone detox is a proven procedure that effectively reduces the pain and discomfort associated with conventional Oxycodone detox.
Rapid anesthesia detoxification (The RDD Method™) is a medical procedure that “cleans” the Oxycodone drug from your brain’s opiate receptors. It even eases you successfully through the “rebound anxiety” that often accompanies detoxification.
Instead of a difficult, several-week withdrawal period, the Center’s RDD treatment takes 3 days and eliminates most withdrawal symptoms.
The actual procedure takes about an hour. After a brief, painless series of tests, you are admitted to the operating room (O.R.). There, an experienced, board certified anesthesiologist gives you a medication to relax and then administers a light, general anesthesia. Then, while you rest comfortably, a team of experienced doctors “scrubs” the opiate receptors in your body, using an infusion of intravenous medications.
Once the Oxycodone is removed from your receptors, the worst of the withdrawal is over. And you slept through it all.
After the procedure, you recover under direct medical supervision. The RDD team of experienced medical professionals monitors your vital signs and your overall physical and mental reactions. In the days that follow the procedure, you may sleep more than usual.
Administered by professionals as part of a long-term drug-addiction recovery strategy, the RDD Method™ has proven to be significantly more effective than other methods. You can call the RDD Center at 1-866-399-2967 to learn more about beating Oxycodone addiction.
