Oxycodone Withdrawals

Drug withdrawal is a scary concept for people who have become addicted. The process of detoxing the body from opiates including oxycodone can be intimidating and one of the primary reasons many delay seeking treatment. Uncomfortable and often painful withdrawal symptoms can be medically managed to help patients recover and avoid a relapse. Oxycodone is an opiate painkiller used to treat moderate to severe pain. The extended-release version of oxycodone is OxyContin, a highly publicized drug that is notorious for its potential to lead to misuse, abuse, addiction and overdose. If you are physically addicted to oxycodone, withdrawal symptoms will kick in, usually within a few hours of your last dose. The severity of these symptoms depends on factors including the length of the addiction, how much you are taking and how frequently you take it.

Oxycodone Withdrawal Symptoms

The withdrawal experience can vary widely among people taking oxycodone, whether legitimately or for recreational purposes. Commonly reported withdrawal symptoms include:

• strong drug craving that doesn’t subside unless you take it
• Muscle and bone pain
• Anxiety
• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Cold flashes
• Sweating
• Insomnia
• Chills
• Yawning
• Sneezing
• Dozing off
• Tremors
• Hallucinations
• Restlessness.

Oxycodone is a central nervous system depressant and more serious symptoms including seizures can be deadly. There is more risk of this among long-time users or those who have been abusing it.

Oxycodone Addiction: It’s Not Likely Your Fault

The Waismann Method of Accelerated Neuro-Regulation (ANR) takes the fear out of withdrawal. Most of our patients didn’t set out to become addicted to oxycodone. A tolerance can develop with regular use and this often leads to addiction. Our job is not to assign blame or guilt over your addiction. We strive to provide the safest, most humane treatment that won’t erode your sense of self-worth. We know you have suffered enough already and that’s why we are with you at every step to encourage and support you during a difficult time.  

Waismann Method and Domus Retreat Offer Premiere Oxycodone Detox

For over a decade, we have been successfully treating addiction to oxycodone and other opiates including heroin, morphine, Stadol, Fentanyl and Methadone. In the majority of our patients, addiction developed after legitimate pain prompted a prescription from a medical professional. Our program includes an in-hospital procedure that uses medication to cleanse oxycodone from patients’ opiate receptors. They sleep lightly under anesthesia for a short time and awake without the conscious awareness of the withdrawal symptoms that occurred while they were out. We manage the withdrawal phase so effectively that patients can recover more quickly and thoroughly. Oxycodone addiction can be treated in a matter of days with our program, and patients can choose to move onto our Domus Retreat aftercare facility. Here, they can take advantage of therapeutic and spa services, continuing their recovery in a safe and supportive environment.
