OxyContin is an extended-release opioid, available through prescription. It is often prescribed for persistent pain, treating chronic pain where other medications may no longer be sufficient. However, the primary ingredient in OxyContin is oxycodone, a semi-synthetic narcotic, and this means it can lead to a high risk of addiction, overdose, and overdose-related death. If you are using OxyContin for an extended length of time, and you suddenly stop, it can lead to severe withdrawal symptoms, particularly physical withdrawal like restlessness, insomnia, muscle pain, and anxiety.Â
That is why it is important to find an OxyContin rehab program that will give you medication to ease this withdrawal and put you in a position to find alternatives to OxyContin for any other underlying conditions, like chronic pain or mental health disorders.Â
OxyContin addiction can be treated with the right type of rehab. This starts with detox. Detox is the most essential element to overcoming any addiction, giving your body a chance to rid itself of any residual toxins that have built up over the course of drug and alcohol use.
During this time, you will experience withdrawal symptoms, and these can vary in their intensity, ebb and flow over the course of several days. With the right type of medications, however, these symptoms can be managed or diminished, making it easier to get through a challenging process.
After that, OxyContin rehab extends to the right type of therapy, teaching you the necessary skills for avoiding triggers and utilizing positive behaviors instead of maladaptive behaviors.Â
At East Coast Recovery, we provide what is called outpatient rehab for OxyContin addiction treatment. This means things like day programs and partial day programs, both of which can be just as effective as residential inpatient programs but don’t require you to reside full-time at a treatment center. This allows you to get the help you need while still going to school, going to work, or attending to your family.Â
At East Coast Recovery, we provide what is called medication-assisted treatment or MAT. MAT is prescribed for those who are starting treatment for things like opioids. If you are struggling with addiction to OxyContin, our treatment center can provide you with the right type of medication-assisted treatment.
With MAT, only qualified facilities are allowed to offer the medications that are used during your initial detox process and the rest of your therapy program.
This relies on FDA-approved medications to ease the cravings associated with your detox process, making it easier for your body to recover and your mind to stay focused on acquiring new skills during your individual and group therapy sessions.
Therapy is a requirement for anyone participating in a medication-assisted treatment program. We provide day and partial day programs, otherwise known as Partial Day programs and Day Treatment programs. Both of these offer part-time opportunities to participate in the types of therapies you need to build long-term success.
Our programs teach you things like mindfulness meditation, where you are able to better focus your mind on the present, particularly in challenging times when you are struggling with the urge for impulsivity and other harmful behaviors.
We also offer Family Programs, which enable you and your family members to come together and build new communication habits, improve relationships, and deepen support, especially for those who are receiving treatment.
We also offer dual diagnosis programs. These are designed to help individuals who are struggling with addiction and underlying mental health disorders. People who are looking for OxyContin rehab programs are likely to be struggling with a secondary mental health disorder, such as chronic pain, depression, or PTSD.Â
Our team provides treatment for both of these conditions at the same time.
Through our dual diagnosis programs, you can similarly choose between a partial day or a day program, finding the timeline and commitment that works best for your schedule, your needs, and your other obligations.Â
With this, you may or may not start your process with medication-assisted treatment for the initial detox. This part of your OxyContin rehab typically lasts 7 days and is an essential step to getting clean and beginning the rest of your journey.
From there, your dual diagnosis program will include a combination of different modalities, such as trauma treatment programs for those who are struggling with underlying trauma. Clients with PTSD and OxyContin addiction might get the biggest benefits from a dual diagnosis program with trauma treatment.Â
Other modalities extend to experiential therapy, things that can help you with different causes of addiction and mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, or personality disorders.
Our goal is to give you a deeper understanding of addiction and its relationship to your specific mental health disorders. Part of that is individual therapy, where you have the chance to look at personal causes or contributing factors and identify personal triggers. Another part of that is our group therapy, designed to help you build the skills you need to cope with triggers or other challenges so that you have healthy behaviors to use instead of maladaptive behaviors like resorting to OxyContin.
At East Coast Recovery, our OxyContin rehab provides each client with the skills they need to overcome initial addiction with medication-assisted treatment. From there, our day and partial day programs provide flexible schedules so that those in need can get help while still handling other personal or professional obligations. We know how challenging it can be to deal with an underlying mental health disorder, especially one that is undiagnosed or misdiagnosed. That is why we offer dual diagnosis treatment for those who need OxyContin rehab and treatment for something like depression or anxiety disorders.
