Oxycodone Treatment in Atlanta, GA
Learn More About Oxycodone
Introduction to Oxycodone
When we go to the doctor, it’s usually because we have something wrong with us that needs to be treated. While our doctors do their best to treat us with care and only give us what we need to get better, they don’t have control over everything that can happen to us, and that includes addiction. While there are precautions in place, one of the most prominent types of addiction in the United States is an addiction to prescription drugs. Among those drugs that people become addicted to, Oxycodone is near the top of the list.
The trouble is that when people are given medication to treat a problem, such as chronic pain, they can often become addicted without even knowing it. That’s why it is so important to be able to recognize the signs of abuse, know what these drugs are doing to a person’s body and how to get them the help they need.
Atlanta Recovery is here to help people suffering from drug addiction. To help understand how dangerous a drug like Oxycodone is, it is important to recognize the signs of oxycodone abuse, and how to find an oxycodone addiction treatment center in Georgia.

Understand the Root
What is Oxycodone?
Oxycodone is a type of medication that is used to treat and manage severe or chronic pain, typically for those with injuries or who have recently undergone surgery. As such, it is one of the most widely prescribed pain medications in the United States. In fact, until recently, it was one of the most widely abused drugs in the country until new regulations were put in place and newer and stronger drugs became available.
Oxycodone is in the Oxy family of opioids. Opioids are the most widely prescribed medication in America thanks to their ability to treat and manage pain and their incredible potency. This also makes them one of the most highly addictive prescription drugs available as well.
Opioids like Oxycodone works by altering the way the body interprets and reacts to pain, which is why it is often used for the long-term management of many chronic pain conditions and other sources of long-term and severe pain. While this makes it an effective medication, the way the drug works in the body is also what makes it so addictive and why people who are taking it as prescribed have a potential to become addicted to it as well.
If you or a loved one is suffering from an addiction to Oxycodone, know that you don’t have to struggle alone. Treatment is available, and you can get the help you need today by visiting Atlanta Recovery Place. Our highly trained and caring staff is here for you when you need them.

Learn more about the signs
What Are the Signs of Oxycodone Abuse?
Recognizing the signs of Oxycodone abuse is the first step to realizing that you or a loved one have an addiction and need help. While each and every addiction is different, there are some common signs that tell you when a person needs to go to an Oxycodone rehab center for help.
The most obvious sign that someone is abusing Oxycodone is when they begin taking more than they should on a regular basis. Doctors give instructions on how much to take to manage pain, and once a person starts taking more than they need, this is a clear sign of an addiction.
Another sign that someone is abusing the drug is if they start changing the method in which they take the drug. For example, a person abusing Oxycodone may change from taking it in pill form, to crushing the pills into powder and snorting or smoking them. Some people will even go so far as to inject the drug to feel the effects quicker.
Lastly, you may notice that they run out of their own supply of the medication and start to engage in drug-seeking behavior, or they continue to find ways to get the drug long after they have healed and should no longer need it. This is a clear sign that their use of the drug has changed and that they are now abusing it.

The affect on the brain
How Does Oxycodone Affect the Brain?
What makes Oxycodone so potent is the way that it interacts with the brain. The drug binds with the pain receptors in the brain and nervous system and alters the way that the body processes pain, both dulling the reaction to pain and slowing the response to it in general.
Over time, the brain becomes accustomed to having the drug and begins to become dependent on it to function normally. This is also characterized by a person needing more and more of the drug to feel the same effect.
At Atlanta Recovery Place, we understand the effect that addiction can have on a person, and that’s why we have individualized treatment plans ready for those that want to get sober and stay that way for the long term. Contact us today to learn more about our outpatient drug rehab in Georgia.

Caring & Compassionate Treatment
What Treatment Methods Are Available For Oxycodone Addiction?
It’s important to understand that the only way to truly get sober is by going to a licensed treatment center and getting the help you need.
In terms of treatment options for Oxycodone addiction, there are a few. For people with a mild addiction or who have only recently become addicted, treatments like group therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and counseling are effective at breaking the cycle of addiction.
For those with a longer history of addiction, other methods may be more effective, such as combining traditional therapy with holistic treatments, peer support, and other methods. In severe cases where a person has been addicted for a long time and has struggled with relapse, medication-assisted treatment may be a viable option. For opioids like Oxycodone, certain medications can help treat the addiction by eliminating the pleasurable effect that opioids have on people to the point where they no longer feel a “high” when taking them. This can make the treatment process much easier.
If this sounds like the type of help and support you need for your addiction, visit Atlanta Recovery today.
