Preparing for OxyContin Detox
There are things you can do to make your OxyContin detox easier before you even arrive at treatment. First of all, do not stop taking your OxyContin prescription (if you don’t have a prescription, don’t stop taking the drug if you can help it) unless you are so advised by a doctor. If you have underlying medical conditions or if you are addicted to other drugs as well, you could experience complications. Wait until you are safely in medical care before you begin.
On the other hand, do not binge on OxyContin or other drugs and alcohol. This will only make your experience more painful, especially in the first two days.
What to Expect OxyContin Detox
At your OxyContin detox facility, you can expect that as soon as you walk through the door, you will be greeted by at least one person from your treatment team. Someone will look through your bag to make sure that you don’t have any contraband items. You will be asked to release any prescriptions that you have and your cell phone, in most cases. There will be paperwork to sign as you sit down for your initial sessions with your personal therapist and a medical doctor who will get a full medical history from you. Be as honest as possible with each of these people and let them know about everything from the drugs you took that morning to the peanut allergy you’ve had since birth. It’s important that they have all the information possible to create your completely personalized OxyContin detox program.
When OxyContin Detox is Over
After you are physically stable after OxyContin detox, your OxyContin rehab experience is far from over. You will continue with a comprehensive OxyContin addiction treatment plan that addresses your psychotherapeutic needs. Here you will get into the where, why and how of your OxyContin addiction and delve further into how to better handle the emotions and issues that triggered your addictive use of the prescription painkiller. You will learn healthy ways of handling your stresses so that you can continue to live free of OxyContin addiction after you return home.
