Outpatient Oxycodone Addiction Treatment for Adults in Houston

How to Stop Drinking Alcohol: Practical Steps, Support, and Sustainable Change

Harmony Grove Behavioral Health is dedicated to providing the best possible care to adults seeking change, fostering a culture of healing and transformation for you or your loved one. However, understanding oxycodone, its side effects, and the potential for abuse and addiction is part of creating a personalized treatment plan, and we are here to provide education, family support, and resources so you can make the most of professional care. 

Understanding Oxycodone Addiction and Opioid Use Disorder

Oxycodone is a powerfully addictive prescription painkiller. While it is used in dedicated medical settings by medical professionals to address cases of chronic or severe pain, it is still a dangerous and addictive drug, carrying the risk of dependence, addiction, and opioid overdose. 

Oxycodone is an opioid found in prescription pain relief medication like OxyContin, an extended-release opioid medication, and Percocet, which is a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen. Despite use by healthcare providers, these substances are still addictive. Using them beyond the direction of a medical professional, or even when according to the label, but over a prolonged course, can lead to misuse and addiction. Even when using prescription oxycodone for legitimate needs like post-surgical pains, cancer treatment, or severe chronic pain, addiction is still possible.

However, these risks compound when illicit oxycodone is involved. Illicit opioids can be cut with several other substances in an attempt to intensify their effects. Recognizing the signs and symptoms of opioid addiction in yourself or a loved one is paramount to addressing unhealthy relationships with the drug. 

Opioid Dependence, Cravings, and Withdrawal Symptoms

Dependence and cravings are common with such an addictive drug. Recognizing these signs, additional signs of addiction, and even the onset of withdrawal, is important. Common signs of opioid addiction include:

  • Intense urges to use opioids, even without a prescription
  • Using more of a prescription than listed on the label, or more often than directed
  • Turning to opioids for reasons beyond the listed pains, such as for emotional relief or escape
  • Hiding use from loved ones
  • “Doctor shopping,” or going to multiple doctors to procure multiple prescriptions 
  • Feelings of anxiety, depression, agitation, or anger when opioids are not available or when their effects subside
Those living with addiction may also engage in self-isolating behavior, distancing themselves from friends, family members, and previous hobbies. Compromised academic and professional attendance and performance are also common. Rather, more time is spent either under the effects of opioids, thinking about how to get more, or even recovering from drug use. Those living with addiction may also increase risk-taking behavior, such as using opioids in more dangerous situations like public areas or while driving, or combining opioids with other substances like alcohol to increase their effects, despite the risks and dangers associated with these behaviors. 

Lastly, sudden financial challenges, compromised personal hygiene, mood swings, emotional instability, and more are also possible, making addressing opioid misuse and addiction paramount. Addiction affects every part of daily life, from behaviors to mental, physical, and emotional health, and equally comprehensive treatment is crucial.

Chronic Pain, Severe Pain, and Opioid Misuse

Despite the dangerous and addictive potential of opioids, many people take a prescription opioid for legitimate reasons. Likewise, those with an oxycodone prescription do not typically take the medication with the intention of becoming addicted. Rather, it happens over time, throughout the course of a prescription. Building tolerance to the medication can make it feel necessary to take increased doses of oxycodone to continue managing intense chronic pain, creating a reliance that becomes dependence and addiction. 
For others, as a prescription runs out, a person may explore illicit, street-level options to replace proper prescriptions, introducing a person to more dangerous substances or opioids cut with unknown substances. This can be especially true for those whose chronic pain is directly tied to emotional needs, such as frustrations with a person’s own body not being able to do a task they used to, or traumatic experiences connected to lasting chronic pain, such as addressing injuries in the line of duty for military personnel or first responders. 

Approaching oxycodone addiction with sympathy, understanding, compassion, and care is paramount. Dedicated support groups to explore not just how addiction has impacted a person’s life, but also the physical and emotional pains beneath the surface, are necessary. Finding the right level of care that addresses the ongoing effects of these pain medications with underlying mental illness, trauma, and personal needs is part of a truly transformative healing journey from addiction.

Evidence-Based Oxycodone Addiction Treatment Services

Overcoming addiction is complicated. We believe in finding the right combination of strategies to support your change. Each person’s healing will be a bit different, and finding the combination of strategies that work for you is paramount. Using a base of evidence-based therapy and proven treatment services, we can empower you to find your best approach to a transformed, sober life. 

Medication-Assisted Treatment in Outpatient Care

We provide medication management in outpatient care to support medication-assisted treatment (MAT). Medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) like Methadone, naltrexone, and buprenorphine are common in overcoming opioid addiction. 

However, while medication can be effective for managing specific symptoms and challenges in addiction recovery, it is not a replacement for other forms of therapy. Rather, using medication to help you engage in group therapy sessions, sober events, and manage symptoms while building new skills in sobriety is the best approach to lasting change. 

We also work with families to educate them on the need for naloxone, commonly known as Narcan, as a fast-acting opioid antagonist. This is an emergency medication that can block opioid receptors in the brain and help prevent or reverse an overdose while contacting emergency services. While being in a situation where this is needed is scary, families of those suspecting opioid addiction need to be aware of its use and the signs of opioid addiction and overdose to prevent the most disastrous outcomes. 

Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Therapy Sessions

Evidence-based therapies like CBT are crucial for effective change. This helps each person explore how their thoughts influence behaviors and beliefs, and empowers them to analyze and make changes based on their overall goals in healing. Proven therapy sessions can explore a person’s behaviors and relationship with opioids from a new perspective, giving you the power to adjust and challenge unhealthy routines and choose your own best healing path. 

Individual Therapy and Group Therapy Sessions

Healing is a personal journey, but combining both individual and group therapy can be the most effective approach to individualized care. Individual outpatient therapy at Harmony Grove ensures that each day is spent finding the strategies that best support your goals. Each person will have unique experiences, history, needs, and goals in overcoming opioid addiction and underlying mental health disorders, trauma, and more. Individual care for navigating these challenges while benefitting from the support of peers and deconstructing barriers can create a healthy approach to a drug-free life. 

Co-Occurring Disorders and Mental Health Support

For some, addressing drug and alcohol use is only part of the journey. Underlying mental health needs like depression, anxiety, panic, trauma, and more are all part of an effective healing journey. We are with you to help you find the best approach to overcoming co-occurring disorders, exploring how they inform each other, and exploring transformed lives in recovery. 

Co-occurring disorders are any combination of substance abuse and mental health disorders, from alcohol and anxiety to opioid use and trauma. Each person will also have unique experiences that further inform both substance use and mental health needs, stress, and more, demanding a personalized approach to care for effective healing. 

Opioid Addiction and Co-Occurring Mental Health Conditions

The use of opioids can be especially prevalent in co-occurring disorders, with many first being exposed to oxycodone in medical care for other challenges. Harmony Grove offers comprehensive mental health support, trauma-informed care, Seeking Safety, and personalized healing options to explore not just the use of opioids, but the role that your experiences and underlying needs played in the development of addiction.

Family Support and Help for Loved Ones

While oxycodone addiction can feel incredibly isolating, its effects are never limited to a single person. Rather, entire households, communities, and loved ones can be affected by one person living with the disease. Family therapy and support are crucial, not just to address the effects of opioid addiction on loved ones, but also to empower family members to be active, effective, and supportive members of a healing culture at home. 

Likewise, family therapy is also crucial for developing communication, understanding, education about addiction, healthy boundaries, and forgiveness. Healing takes time, not just for those overcoming addiction, but for family members coping with the effects of the disease on their lives. However, approaching addiction as a disease, rather than a source of blame, is necessary for finding forgiveness and taking a unified approach to making sustainable change at home. 

Interventions and Early Support

It is never too early to learn more about addiction, opioid misuse, and the signs and symptoms of oxycodone addiction. Early support can even be crucial for preventing overdose and getting help when you need it.

We are also here to help you begin difficult conversations about addiction and recovery, supporting interventions and empowering you to know your resources and options to best help a loved one.
