MS Contin Detox
Rapid Drug Detox can help detox you from MS Contin.
MS Contin Addiction
MS Contin capsules are an extended-release, oral form of Morphine Sulfate. It is a highly-potent opiate analgesic drug and the principal active agent in opium and the prototypical opioid. MS Contin acts directly on the central nervous system to relieve pain. Studies done on the efficacy of various opioids have indicated that in the management of severe pain, no other narcotic analgesic is more effective or superior to morphine. MS Contin is highly addictive when compared to other substances; physical and psychological dependences develop very rapidly.
MS Contin is a rapid-acting narcotic, and is known to bind very strongly to the receptors. For this reason, it often has a higher incidence of euphoria/dysphoria, respiratory depression, sedation, pruritus, tolerance and physical and psychological dependence when compared to other opioids. Because MS Contin is intended for extended-release, the pills should not be crushed, chewed, or dissolved before administered due to the risk of rapid release and thus overdose.
Also known as Kadian.

MS Contin Addiction Effects
The most commonly reported adverse drug reactions are nausea, vomiting and sweating. Drowsiness is reported, although it is less of an issue than for other opioids. Respiratory depression, a common side effect of most opioids, is not clinically significant in normal doses. By itself, it can decrease the seizure threshold. Dosages of coumadin/warfarin may need to be reduced for anticoagulated patients to avoid bleeding complications.
MS Contin Withdrawal Symptoms
The withdrawal symptoms associated with MS Contin addiction are usually experienced shortly before the time of the next scheduled dose of the drug, sometimes within as early as a few hours (usually between 6-12 hours) after the last administration. Early symptoms include: watery eyes, insomnia, diarrhea, runny nose, yawning, dysphoria, sweating and in some cases a strong drug craving. Restlessness, irritability, loss of appetite, body aches, severe abdominal pain, nausea and vomiting, tremors, and even stronger and more intense drug cravings appear as the syndrome progresses. Severe depression and vomiting are very common. The heart rate and blood pressure are elevated and can lead to a heart attack, blood clot or stroke. Chills or cold flashes with goose bumps (“cold turkey”) alternating with flushing (hot flashes), kicking movements of the legs (“kicking the habit” – similar to restless leg syndrome) and excessive sweating are also characteristic symptoms. Severe pains in the bones and muscles of the back and extremities occur, as do muscle spasms. At any point during this process, a suitable narcotic can be administered that dramatically reverses the withdrawal symptoms. Major withdrawal symptoms peak between 48 and 96 hours after the last dose and subside after about 10 to 12 days. Sudden withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health can be fatal.
Rapid Anesthesia MS Contin Detox
The RDD Method™ for MS Contin detoxification under anesthesia is a medical procedure that eliminates most of the withdrawal symptoms. During the procedure the patient is given medication to relax and then put under light, general anesthesia for about an hour. Following the procedure, recovery begins under direct medical supervision.
The patient’s vital signs and overall physical and mental reactions to these medications are closely monitored during the detox procedure. In the days that follow, the patient often sleeps more than usual. Administered by professionals as part of a long-term drug-addiction recovery strategy, The RDD Method™ is significantly more effective than other courses of MS Contin addiction treatment.
MS Contin Addiction FAQs

If you are using opiate drugs to control pain and feel you are using more and more to get the same pain relief, you may be suffering from a common condition caused from opiate drug use; read about this condition called Hyperalgesia. Also, read about hormones and how the chronic use of opiate drugs can decrease the body’s ability to produce the proper amount of testosterone and estrogen.
We never use other replacement addicting opiates, often prescribed by physicians and detox centers, such as Suboxone®/Subutex (Buprenorphine) or injectable Buprenorphine. These schedule III controlled opiate drugs are routinely and widely used and approved by the FDA for opiate addiction maintenance, like Methadone. Many patients find themselves in the same situation as they were before drug treatment from a doctor or a drug rehabilitation center. Some in-patient rehab centers also use schedule II controlled liquid Hydrocodone and Dilaudid “cocktails”. Patients soon realize these replacement drugs cause severe withdrawal once they are discharged from these programs. This causes the patient to seek opiates for relief from the severe discomfort of a Buprenorphine withdrawal. The use of these drugs for treatment of opiate addiction is merely switching one opiate drug for another setting the patient up for failure. This does not solve the patient’s drug addiction problem. As use of these drugs become more common, we are seeing a steady increase of requests for an anesthesia detox from patients addicted to Suboxone®/Subutex (Buprenorphine). With RDD’s Naltrexone Therapy used as a pellet/implant, injectable “IM” shot or the oral pill form, the patient stays clean and cravings are eliminated.
