OxyContin Addiction Treatment in Marietta, GA

Treating Opioid Addictions Throughout Georgia

Atlanta Treatment LLC is helping individuals during the opioid epidemic by offering comprehensive, specialized drug addiction treatment.

What is OxyContin?

Opioids are a class of drugs typically prescribed by medical professionals to treat pain, which is why they’re also referred to as painkillers. Opioids treat pain by acting on the opioid receptors on nerve cells in the brain and body to provide relief for pain related to surgeries, cancers, and other types of chronic conditions. 

They’re generally prescribed for short-term use, as long-term use can lead to abuse and addiction.

OxyContin is a popular brand of a potent painkiller known as oxycodone and has been prescribed in pill or controlled-release capsule form to treat moderate to severe pain. OxyContin is meant to dissolve into the bloodstream over a 12-hour period, but many who abuse the drug will crush and snort them to achieve a quicker and more powerful “high,” which can make users feel euphoric.

Besides the pleasant high users acquire from OxyContin, other side effects include:

  • Constricted pupils
  • Slowed breathing
  • Drowsiness
  • Sweating
  • Headaches
  • Nausea and vomiting

Unfortunately, OxyContin addiction greatly increases one’s risk of overdosing, which can lead to serious health conditions like respiratory failure or permanent brain damage. Seeking professional help for your addiction is your best chance of protecting your health and your future.

Signs of OxyContin Addiction

OxyContin addiction can develop quickly, but some may not realize they have a problem until it begins to ruin their lives. We’ve provided a list of signs of addiction to help you determine whether you or someone your care about is being affected—the sooner you recognize an addiction, the sooner you can seek help and begin your recovery.

Common signs of an OxyContin addiction include:

  • Withdrawal symptoms: A person with an addiction will likely experience negative withdrawal symptoms if they go a period of time without abusing OxyContin. These symptoms can include everything from nausea and vomiting to high blood pressure, dilated pupils, diarrhea, and abdominal cramps.
  • Doctor shopping: People who developed addictions to the OxyContin they’ve been prescribed may doctor shop, or visit various doctors to obtain more prescriptions for the drug. In most cases, doctors are unaware that the user has obtained prescriptions elsewhere.
  • Risky behavior: Drug addiction can cause a person to engage in impulsive, risky behaviors. Some may attempt to steal or commit other crimes to obtain and use OxyContin, while others may get behind the wheel and cause car accidents while high.
  • Strained relationships: OxyContin users may withdraw from their loved ones if they’re spending all their time getting high or are ashamed to admit they have a problem. Strained relationships can also occur when the user is caught stealing money or their loved ones’ prescriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the long-term effects of OxyContin addiction?

Long-term effects of OxyContin addiction include:

  • Physical Health Problems: Chronic pain, organ damage, and increased risk of infection.
  • Mental Health Issues: Depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.
  • Social and Relationship Problems: Job loss, strained relationships, and legal trouble.

What is the role of therapy in OxyContin addiction treatment?

Therapy helps individuals address the underlying causes of addiction, develop coping skills, and learn healthy behaviors.

How does OxyContin addiction affect the brain?

OxyContin, like other opioids, binds to opioid receptors in the brain, releasing dopamine, a neurotransmitter that produces feelings of pleasure. Over time, the brain adapts to this surge of dopamine, leading to tolerance and dependence.

How long does OxyContin addiction treatment take?

While some individuals may benefit from short-term programs, others may require more extended treatment. Our experienced clinicians will assess your specific needs and recommend a suitable treatment plan.
