Oxecta is one of the brand names for oxycodone, a powerful prescription opioid used to treat moderate to severe pain. This is also a highly addictive drug with severe withdrawal symptoms. If you are addicted to Oxecta, chances are you will need the help of a treatment center to stop using it. Fortunately, there are a few types of treatment to consider for your Oxecta addiction treatment.
Medication Assisted Detoxification and Treatment
This is the most comprehensive and popular forms of treatment. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, medication assisted detoxification and treatment has two basic parts, counseling and medication.
The medication used in medication assisted treatment:
- Helps with cravings
- Helps avoid complications of detoxification
- Allows you to go through treatment without being distracted by symptoms of withdrawal
- Treats chronic pain conditions that might have caused your Oxecta addiction
Medications that are commonly used are:
- Methadone
- Buprenorphine
- Subutex
- Suboxone
Some treatment centers also use Naltrexone after you wean off Oxecta. Naltrexone does not help with withdrawal or cravings but does stop you from taking opiates.
These medications work to enhance the main portion of the treatment, which is the counseling portion. The types of counseling often used are:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Contingency management therapy
- Motivational enhancement therapy
- 12 step facilitation counseling
With the exception of 12 step facilitation, all of these types of counseling are available on both a group and individual basis. When you are ready doctors and counselors work to wean you off the medication and end your drug use completely. If you are ready to end your Oxecta addiction, call 888-810-2643.
Medication Maintenance Treatment
Medication maintenance treatment has the same medication and counseling components as medication assisted treatment with one difference. You do not wean off the medication at the end of medication maintenance treatment.
Instead, you stay on the medication for as long as you need to. This is useful when your Oxecta addiction started due to a pain condition such as:
- Chronic back pain
- Chronic joint pain
- Arthritis
- Fibromyalgia
These pain conditions require treatment regardless of your addiction. The medications used to treat withdrawal also treat these pain conditions.
Behavioral Therapy Alone or with Supplemental Medication
Behavioral therapy is a key component in most types of addiction treatment. In the treatment of Oxecta addiction, it can be useful alone or with supplemental medication.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, some of the counseling methods used to treat addiction are:
- Cognitive-behavioral therapy
- Multidimensional family therapy
- Motivational interviewing
- Motivational incentives
All of these methods have proven effective in treating Oxecta and other opioid addictions.
