Oxycodone Detox Center Serving Belton, TX

Learn more about detoxification from oxycodone

Oxycodone is a very potent prescription medication that is often found in other medications including Percocet and OxyContin. Although this medication is very helpful in offering pain relief to those who need it, it is also a medication that has exceptional potential to cause both substance abuse and addiction. When ingested, oxycodone and oxycodone-combination medications can lead to pleasing effects that attract users, such as those who need them for medical purposes and those who abuse them recreationally.

As an individual begins to abuse oxycodone regularly, he or she can easily start to develop a tolerance to it, as his or her body gets used to the presence of it and then needs more of it so that the desired effects can be obtained. As the individual begins to consume more and more oxycodone, or starts consuming it more frequently, his or her body can develop a dependence on it. Therefore, the body becomes incapable of being able to function in the same manner it did before oxycodone was introduced. When this form of chemical dependency has been established and the individual tries to end his or her use of oxycodone, he or she will likely suffer from withdrawal.

Learn more about what happens during withdrawal from oxycodone

Withdrawal occurs when the body attempts to readjust itself to how it functioned before oxycodone was introduced. This can be a very overwhelming and painful process, and in some cases, even present a number of dangers. Some of the potential symptoms that can develop when an individual is suffering from oxycodone withdrawal can include, however, are not limited to, the following:

• Nausea
• Agitation
• Diarrhea
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Insomnia
• Shakiness
• Abdominal cramping
• Vomiting
• Extreme cravings

Since withdrawal symptoms can be so incredibly painful, many individuals find that they begin looking for any way possible to stop the negative physical and psychological effects from which they are suffering. One way of doing so is by abusing oxycodone again, which has the potential to continually encourage this possibly fatal pattern of abuse and addiction.

When an individual decides to refuse treatment for an addiction to oxycodone, or if he or she does not participate in detox, the results can be devastating. For those who choose to stay physically dependent on oxycodone or oxycodone-combination medications, one or more relapses can occur, which can prevent an individual from stopping his or her addiction once and for all. However, for those who do engage in detox services, there is a stronger chance that they will be able to prevent relapse and continue a life free of oxycodone abuse.

Engaging in a detox program allows an individual to achieve the improved health and clarity of mind required to understand how and why he or she became addicted to oxycodone. With these benefits, an individual is able to fully participate in programming, which can help him or her develop the confidence and the skills required to keep from abusing oxycodone for good.
