OxyCodone and Opioids are one of the most commonly abused and dangerous drugs in the United States today. OxyCodone is a prescribed painkiller sold under the brand names: Oxaydo, Roxicodone, Roxybond, OxyContin. While Oxycodone is an effective pain reliever, much like other Opioids it is highly addictive. Because of the addictive nature of OxyCodone, even people taking them according to their prescription may become addicted and slip into OxyCodone abuse.
Findings by the National Drug Abuse Institute show that 21-29% of all prescription opioid patients abuse their prescription and 8-12% of all opioid prescriptions result in an opioid use disorder. In addition, an estimated 80% of heroin users abused prescription opioids like OxyCodone first. It is a statistical fact that detoxing from OxyCodone at home does not work. You need a medicated detox to comfortably and safely detox from OxyCodone. If you are experiencing symptoms, please reach out to us for help 24/7.
Why OxyCodone Detox Needs to be Medically Supervised
Detoxing is the act of systematically removing that chemical from your body. There are two common ways of doing this; cold-turkey, which means just stopping the use completely without any assistance, and medically-assisted detox. Much like other opioid detox programs, OxyCodone withdrawal symptoms can be extremely painful and even life-threatening. Because of this, trying to quit cold turkey almost never works leading to relapses and overdoses.
Medically supervised detox programs like ours at Beginnings Treatment Centers offer medication-assisted treatment to help reduce the painful withdrawal symptoms. You will be in a comfortable semi-private or private room, with healthy and nutritious meals, as well as 24/7 supervision to make sure that you are as comfortable as possible during this time. While you may have heard of the extremely rare occasion of someone quitting OxyCodone or other opioids on their own cold turkey, or even with controversial drugs like Kratom, this is highly irregular and not recommended as it has lower overall effectiveness and often results in higher relapse rates than a medical detox center.
Oxycodone Overdose Symptoms
When someone takes a more than prescribed or illegal dose of OxyCodone, either intentionally or unintentionally, it can completely overwhelm your body’s functions causing an overdose. An Oxycodone overdose is a terrifying experience that has various life-threatening symptoms. Witnessing an OxyCodone overdose can be especially frightening as many of us are not trained to know what to do and are afraid of what might happen if you are using together and have to call for help. The sooner that these symptoms are recognized and dealt with by professionals, the more likely that person will survive. Some OxyCodone withdrawal symptoms can include:
- Coma or unresponsiveness
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Shallow breathing or no breathing
- Constipation
- Bluish-colored fingernails and lips
- Seizures
- Pinpoint pupils
- Muscle damage from being immobile while unresponsive
It’s important to know that if you witness an OxyCodone overdose, do not be afraid to call 911 for help. It will save their life and many states have laws to protect you from getting into and legal trouble for calling it in.

Initial Intake and Assessment
During your intake, you will be taken through a thorough assessment so that we can learn more about your OxyCodone and other drug use history, your personal medical history, and identify any physical or mental complications which may require treatment. This is commonly called Dual Diagnosis. We use this information to create a custom detox program for you, which is then adjusted for you as your detox program progresses. We believe there is no one-size-fits-all recovery model and that why developing a custom solution is the best solution.
Medication-Assisted Detox
We may use medication-assisted medication for your detox to assist with painful withdrawal symptoms and safely detox the drugs from your system. Common medication-assisted treatment detox drugs we use are Buprenorphine, Suboxone, and other complementary medication. Most of our patients move through this detox process in approximately 5-7 days.
World Class Counseling and Therapy
Every person who enters our program has access to a full team of highly credentialed and qualified professionals including licensed therapists, psychologists, LMFTS, and doctors. Counseling is also available alongside therapy sessions and group meetings. We work hard to ensure that you have the support and emotional care needed to recover and have lasting sobriety.

In some cases, you may be prescribed medication to reduce withdrawal side-effects, reduce seizures, and reduce the risk of complications.
