Oxycodone Addiction Treatment in Portland, Maine
Oxycodone, also known by brand names like OxyContin and Roxicodone, is a potent prescription opioid primarily used to manage moderate to severe pain. Due to its powerful effects, it can quickly lead to physical dependence and addiction, even when prescribed legitimately. If you or a loved one struggles with oxycodone use, help is available. At Portland Treatment Center, we provide comprehensive, compassionate care tailored to your needs.
Understanding Oxycodone Addiction
Oxycodone is a synthetic opioid that relieves pain by activating opioid receptors in the brain, producing both pain relief and a sense of euphoria. Because of its high potential for misuse, oxycodone addiction can develop rapidly, leading individuals into a cycle of dependence.
Common signs of oxycodone addiction include:
Increased tolerance and needing higher doses
Withdrawal symptoms when not using
Neglecting responsibilities at work, home, or school
Social isolation and secretive behaviors
Doctor shopping or illegal acquisition of the drug
Recognizing Oxycodone Withdrawal
Withdrawal symptoms from oxycodone can be intense and may include:
Anxiety and irritability
Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns
Muscle and joint aches
Increased pain sensitivity
Nausea, vomiting, and abdominal cramps
Increased sweating and tremors
Mood swings and potential suicidal thoughts
Due to the severity of these symptoms, medical supervision is strongly recommended during the detoxification process.
