Oxycodone is an opioid that is found within many different prescription painkillers, including Percocet and OxyContin, and is used to manage moderate to severe physical pain stemming from injury, surgery, a chronic pain condition, or pain that accompanies certain kinds of medical illnesses. When used as prescribed and under the surveillance of a physician, oxycodone can supply much-needed relief for many individuals. However, since this substance can bring about feelings of relaxation, euphoria, and sedation, it can be attractive to those who do not need it for a medical reason. As this drug begins to become consumed regularly, tolerance can develop, causing individuals to have to consume more and more just to achieve the desired effects. The result of this tolerance can be physical dependence, causing users to have extreme difficulty in stopping their behaviors. Thankfully, there are treatment options out there that are specifically designed to help individuals make the oxycodone abuse something of the past.

At Sierra Tucson, the best rehab center for oxycodone addiction, we know how hard it can be to overcome an addiction of any kind, including oxycodone. In order to better assist in helping individuals establish the skills needed to battle this addiction and continue healthy functioning, we have developed detailed treatment that is able to help individuals make the first steps towards a life of recovery.

How to Help a Loved One

Helping a loved one get treatment for oxycodone addiction

When a loved one or family member is addicted to a substance, it can be heart-wrenching to watch and difficult to come to terms with. If someone you care for has established an addiction to oxycodone, you are likely battling a number of emotions yourself. It is imperative to know that there are a handful of things that you can do to help your loved one. Consider the following:

  • Spend time educating yourself about addiction as a disease. When someone you care for is addicted to oxycodone, it can be hard to understand why without being angry. Seeing addiction for the disease it is can help introduce empathy.
  • Find out what you can about oxycodone, such as the signs, symptoms, and effects of abuse.
  • Spend time researching different treatment centers that can be of assistance to your loved one. This can help you determine the level of care they might require, and can offer you the information you need to approach your loved one effectively.
  • Talk to your loved one in a non-judgmental, non-confrontational manner about your concerns. Prepare for some resistance, however, continue to encourage treatment. Do not argue back, and continue to show your support by remaining calm and encouraging.
  • If your loved one chooses to get treatment, remain a strong sense of support and hope for them during the process by staying in touch and engaging in any therapy sessions that you can.

Why Consider Treatment

Why consider treatment for oxycodone addiction at Sierra Tucson

When treatment is not obtained by someone addicted to oxycodone, their life can be destroyed. The physical turmoil that can result from substance abuse can include anything from constipation to vital organ damage. Socially, individuals tend to withdraw themselves from everything around them as they focus solely on their use of oxycodone. Relationships can struggle, family issues can develop, and divorce can be on the horizon. Additionally, the effects that this substance can have on one’s cognition can cause trouble at work, potentially leading to unemployment and financial ruin. The longer that an addiction to oxycodone is allowed to persist, the more vulnerable individuals become to self-harming behaviors and suicidal ideation. Luckily, help is available, and these detriments can be effectively defeated when comprehensive care is received to help individuals put an end to their addictions.

Types of Treatment

Types of oxycodone addiction treatment offered at Sierra Tucson

As an internationally known and respected treatment provider of medical, therapeutic, and experiential services, our oxycodone abuse rehab is pleased to offer the best care for a wide range of concerns that are known to plague adults of all genders. With evidence-based practices that are rooted within the integrative therapies that we offer, our treatment center prides itself on being a leading provider of services that are effective in treating chemical dependency concerns, such as an addiction to oxycodone, as well as co-occurring disorders. Holistic and individualized treatment are cornerstone to the premier care offered at our rehab, and the staff of qualified and experienced professionals administers care by utilizing a dynamic approach to treating patients. It is the ambition of our rehab center to deliver services in such a manner that all who come to us for treatment will be able to transcend the challenges of the past and resume the pursuit of a healthy and productive future.

Sierra Tucson, a premier oxycodone addiction treatment center, offers a 15-bed behavioral health inpatient unit, and a 124-bed behavioral health residential treatment center, both of which are situated on the same campus. Patients who require immediate stabilization due to the presence of psychiatric concerns or those who are in need of medical detoxification services can receive these interventions prior to engaging in our rehab’s residential care. When patients arrive at our treatment center with oxycodone in their systems, the first step in their treatment may be to undergo the medical detox services offered at our inpatient program so that their bodies can become rid of the toxic substance. This period of detoxification is monitored by medical personnel in order to ensure that individuals remain safe and as comfortable as possible during the process. Patients will also engage in a number of therapeutic interventions during their time in inpatient treatment. Following detox and completion of treatment at our inpatient unit, patients will then engage in comprehensive treatment at our rehab center’s behavioral health residential treatment center.

Treatment for substance abuse concerns, including the abuse of oxycodone, is delivered through our treatment center’s Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder Program. Offered within our behavioral health residential treatment center, services supplied in this treatment plan are designed to elicit the most favorable outcomes for all patients. Our reputation as a leading drug addiction rehab center stems from our clinical excellence and the best, compassionate care that we afford to everyone who seeks our services. Our holistic approach to treatment respects the dignity of each individual while offering a therapeutic environment that is fully conducive to healing of the mind, body, and spirit. Treatment focuses on addressing each patient’s presenting problems, as well as underlying issues that exacerbate their struggles. It is our belief that, as patients gain new communication skills and learn to build healthy relationships, they can make sound decisions for a healthy quality of life and form deeper connections with others.

The types of services you receive will be determined by your treatment team. Using a biopsychosocial and spiritual approach to care, patients engaged in the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder program can partake in the following treatment methods, which are outlined in each patient’s individualized treatment plan, as well as in our rehab’s daily treatment schedules:

Medication management: When individuals are struggling with the presence of a co-occurring disorder in addition to their addiction to oxycodone, the implementation of psychotropic medications may be incorporated into their overall plan of care at our oxycodone addiction treatment center. The need for such medications, however, is always determined on a case-by-case basis. Patients who are engaged in the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder treatment plan will have the opportunity to meet with either a psychiatrist or qualified physician at a minimum of once per week so that any medications that have been prescribed can be monitored for therapeutic effectiveness and any necessary changes can be made.

Individual therapy: Master’s level clinicians and/or licensed psychologists at our rehab offer individual therapy sessions with patients several times per week depending on the treatment modality that is being used. All patients are guaranteed, however, that a minimum of one individual session will take place each week. Each patient’s therapist will be assigned to them depending on the identified presenting concerns, the therapeutic approach that will be used in order to effectively address those concerns, and the specific training that the therapist possesses. These sessions occur in a confidential, one-to-one setting where the patient is afforded the opportunity to discuss their progress in treatment, address any concerns that may arise, and process various feelings they are experiencing.

Group therapy: At the time that patients are admitted into the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder treatment plan at our rehab center, they are assigned to a small group of peers, all of whom are engaged in the same treatment. This group will meet together for therapy sessions four times per week. In addition to serving as a general process group, topics that are covered during these group sessions may include, but are not limited to:

  • Didactic lectures
  • Working through grief and loss
  • Relapse prevention
  • Anger management
  • Healing anxiety
  • Identifying feelings of shame in order to move to a place of resilience

Therapeutic Recreational Activities: In order to help patients build a stronger sense of self and increased confidence as they overcome their oxycodone abuse problem, this treatment option offers patients a myriad of therapeutic activities, which are conducted daily or on a weekly basis. A patient’s participation in such activities will be outlined in their treatment plan and may include the following:

  • Expressive art
  • Equine therapy
  • Psychodrama
  • Adventure therapy (including a ropes course and rock wall)

Additional services for purchase: In order to fully care for the needs of those who are working through an addiction to oxycodone and any co-occurring conditions, our oxycodone abuse rehab is proud to offer a number of additional services through an innovative approach to treatment. Special time is set aside for selected individual appointments which will be outlined in one’s treatment plan in order to address individualized needs. Such services may include, but are not limited to:

  • Mindfulness meditation
  • Acupuncture
  • Salon
  • Somato-Emotional Release (SER) massage
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Somatic Experiencing® Therapy (SE)
  • Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
  • Massage
  • Personal training
  • Psychological testing
  • Biofeedback

Furthermore, patients engaged in the care delivered through the Addictions and Co-Occurring Disorder Program at our rehab center will be provided with educational lectures and will participate in 12-step meetings. Each day will end on a positive note by allowing patients to gather together and reflect through a Gifts and Blessings Ceremony.

Should a patient require stabilization services while engaged in our rehab center’s residential treatment, they are able to partake in the services supplied by our Behavioral Health Inpatient Unit before returning to residential treatment. The staff of professionals conducts an ongoing assessment of each patient’s progress and needs and offers assistance in making this transition smooth so as to continue the process of healing with as little disruption as possible.

Continuing Care

Continuing care and levels of treatment for oxycodone addiction

Sierra Tucson’s method for providing the best, all-encompassing care for every patient who comes for treatment includes thorough discharge planning and continuing care services that are second-to-none. Once a patient engages in services to treat an oxycodone addiction and co-occurring concerns at our rehab, a comprehensive continued care plan is devised so that they can remain successful once treatment is complete. Those partaking in the services meet with continued care staff to assess each individual’s needs and plan for discharge. Those engaged in the residential treatment at our oxycodone addiction rehab center meet with the same continued care staff and regional outreach specialists and partake in lectures and one-on-one planning sessions to ensure quality referrals and to establish any follow-up appointments that may be required once they have been discharged.

Furthermore, patients exiting the residential treatment, along with their family members, can benefit from The Connections Program. This treatment plan includes 12-month-long case management services that are in place to offer ongoing and substantial support to former patients. A representative from this plan contacts patients 48 hours after they are discharged and is available to assist these individuals in seeking and receiving the additional services they need in order to remain successful in the process of healing and recovery.

Lastly, former patients can take part in the Alumni Services affiliated with our rehab. These services include groups offered through outpatient centers, which are located across the United States.

If you or a loved one wishes to receive the superior care that has improved the lives of many individuals who have struggled with chemical dependency and co-occurring conditions, look no further than our treatment center. The life you have envisioned can begin here.

My husband seems a changed man, and one of my sons found it the most valuable experience of his life. Thank you for all the work you do.
