Oxycodone Detox

If you suffer from oxycodone withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit, it’s time to seek an oxycodone detox program. Often uncomfortable, oxycodone withdrawal symptoms are a sign of dependency. In essence, this means your body adapts and relies on oxycodone to feel normal. Detox is never a simple process. However, with a quality detox program, you are kept safe and supported for a lasting recovery.

The Symptoms of Withdrawal From Oxycodone

The Guide to Oxycodone DetoxAfter addiction sets in, your brain doesn’t function comfortably without oxycodone. This means you suffer ill effects of not using the drug, as your brain craves to get what it needs. The harmful effects are both physical and mental. Therefore, overcoming your withdrawal symptoms gets you one step closer to recovery. Physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms of oxycodone often arise six to 12 hours after stopping and can linger for days or even weeks.

Some symptoms include:

  • Abdominal cramps, fever, chills, sweating and increased blood pressure
  • Flu-like symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea
  • Anxiety and depression
  • Watery eyes, tiny pupils, and runny nose
  • Insomnia, yawning, restlessness, and fatigue

Mental signs of oxycodone withdrawal are agitation, fear, confusion, anger, concentration problems, depression, irritability, mood swings, and panic attacks. You also experience intense cravings for the drug throughout withdrawal. Many people suffer suicidal thoughts, which brings a dangerous risk.

How Long Does Oxycodone Detox Process Take?

During the oxycodone detox process, your body works naturally to cleanse oxycodone and other harmful toxins from your body. Depending on your drug history, personal health, typical dose, and other factors, oxycodone detox usually lasts a week to 10 days.

Oxycodone detox isn’t deadly but brings many uncomfortable symptoms. In a detox program, caring professionals supervise your detox from start to finish to ensure a successful process. Support during detox is essential, especially for newly-detoxed individuals, who carry a more significant risk of relapse.

As your detox program advances, medical experts observe your vital signs and ensure you’re well-nourished and hydrated. Patients can pass the time in detox with amenities such as a private television or walking the grounds and enjoying the fresh air. Tranquility is crucial at this time, while your body fights to repair itself from the ravages of oxycodone abuse.

Oxycodone Detox Timeline

Your withdrawal experience and timeline depend on the type of oxycodone used and individual factors. Percocet, Percodan and other drugs containing oxycodone take about five hours before withdrawal symptoms appear. Finally, OxyContin and similar substances take as many as 12 hours before withdrawal symptoms emerge.

On average, acute withdrawal symptoms last about seven days. However, some individuals require just a few days while others may require ten days to feel normal. Indeed, age, gender, weight, and type of oxycodone used all play a factor in determining the length and strength of your withdrawal period.

The first two days of oxycodone detox are known to create the most intense withdrawal symptoms and gradually decrease after 72 hours of sobriety. During this period, individuals suffer from insomnia, appetite loss, and aching muscles.

After 72 hours, psychological signs of withdrawal begin which include depression and anxiety. In contrast, individuals may experience mental effects for days to even months after quitting oxycodone.
