Oxycodone Withdrawal
Detoxifying your body is a difficult process, no doubt about it. When you have become dependent upon a drug, your body needs that drug to function properly. Going without the drug can create painful or even dangerous withdrawal symptoms, so be sure to detox with professionals like Meditox.
As you take a drug regularly, your body tries to maintain a normal level of functioning. In effect, your brain conditions itself to believe that the presence of the drug is "normal," and you will feel best when it is in your system. You see this in the building of tolerance--since a certain amount of the drug is part of normal brain function, it takes a stronger dose to have any analgesic effect.
This process is what causes oxycodone withdrawal. Your brain is used to having a drug around, and has adjusted so that the presence of the drug does not disrupt its function. When the drug is removed, though, you start to crave the drug--since your brain has effectively re-calibrated itself to thinking that the drug is normal.
Oxycodone withdrawal symptoms can include headaches, trembling, cramps, and nausea, and can last for up to a few days. This period of withdrawal is what makes it so hard to detoxify, because you have to convince your body that it no longer needs a drug to function. Trying to detox on your own is dangerous and ineffective, so let the pros help you. Call today to find out how we can help curb your withdrawal symptoms and have you drug-free in just six weeks.

“Today is week #5! I have my life back, this morning my husband told me he hadn't seen me like this in three years! My daughter told me "your back Mom"! My Fybromyalgia is down to 2 to 3 percent of what it was, I am fully able to live with the Joy and Love and Laughter which has always been my way.”
