When used under the supervision of a qualified healthcare provider, and when taken in the amount and for the duration directed by the prescribing physician, oxycodone can have a significantly beneficial effect. Unfortunately, the relative ease with which a person can acquire oxycodone, the drug’s potency, and the many pleasurable effects that are associated with its use, have led to widespread abuse of oxycodone, both for recreational and self-medicating purposes.
Oxycodone Detox
The importance of detox from oxycodone
Oxycodone, which is a synthetic opioid, is a powerful and highly effective substance that is present in several prescription medications, including OxyContin, Percodan, and Percocet. Oxycodone is most commonly prescribed to individuals who have been experiencing moderate to severe pain. In addition to its analgesic properties, oxycodone also elicits sensations of relaxation and euphoria. Regardless of why a person begins to abuse oxycodone, any illicit use of this opioid can lead to a wide range of negative effects and outcomes, including the development of addiction when professional treatment at an oxycodone rehab that includes detox is not sought.
Known clinically as opioid use disorder, oxycodone addiction can have a profoundly disruptive impact on a person’s physical, psychological, and socioeconomic wellbeing. When a person becomes dependent upon oxycodone, he or she will lose the ability to control the amount and frequency of his or her oxycodone abuse, and will begin to prioritize the acquisition and use of this drug over his or her relationships, personal and occupational obligations, and other responsibilities. Without proper treatment at a rehab that includes detox for oxycodone addiction, oxycodone addiction can have catastrophic results, including irreversible damage, or even death.
Admitting that one has a problem with oxycodone and deciding to get help for this problem are important steps, but before a person enters a treatment and rehab program, he or she must stop actively abusing this drug. However, this is not a simple proposition. As is the case with other opioids, ending one’s abuse of oxycodone will likely trigger the rapid onset of several distressing withdrawal symptoms, including anxiety, depression, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and intense cravings for oxycodone or another opioid.
When a person attempts to withdraw from oxycodone on his or her own without the support of professionals at an oxycodone treatment and rehab center that supplies detox, the likelihood that these symptoms will push him or her back into oxycodone abuse is significant. And when a person fails to complete withdrawal, the resultant sense of shame or failure can exacerbate his or her substance abuse, putting him or her in even greater danger and further complicating future efforts to overcome this addiction.
Thankfully, there is a better way. At Bowling Green Brandywine in Kennett Square, PA, we provide a safer, more comfortable, and more effective way for men and women to rid their bodies of oxycodone and other addictive substances prior to engaging in the comprehensive treatment and rehab that includes detox that can prepare them to achieve long-term recovery.
