Men’s Oxycodone Rehab in Texas

What is Oxycodone?

Oxycodone, sometimes called “Oxy”, is a potent opioid medication frequently used to help alleviate severe or chronic pain. It was originally synthesized in Germany in 1916 and was brought to the US market in 1939. Doctors prescribe Oxycodone most commonly in pill form, but it can also be taken as a liquid or in extended-release form.

While it is effective at managing acute pain, oxycodone can be highly addictive if misused or taken in larger amounts than prescribed.

The Consequences of Oxycodone Addiction For Men

The effects of oxycodone addiction in a man’s life can be severe and far-reaching. Prolonged oxycodone use can have serious physical health consequences, including organ damage, respiratory difficulties, and an increased risk of overdose. Users can also experience significant mental health impacts, such as depression, anxiety, and cognitive impairments.

Symptoms and Signs of an Oxy Addiction

Oxycodone abuse can cause a number of different symptoms in men, both physical and behavioral. Commonly reported symptoms include dizziness, sedation, constricted pupils, itching, changes in appetite and sleep patterns, mood swings, poor concentration, loss of interest in previously enjoyed activities, social isolation, risk-taking behaviors, and neglecting responsibilities. 

Side Effects of Abusing Oxycodone

Those who abuse oxycodone are often seeking its more immediate side effects which include pain relief, muscle relaxation, and euphoria. However, the prescription drug often comes with unwanted side effects such as drowsiness, mood changes, stomach pain, dry mouth, and headaches. 

Prolonged oxycodone use can lead to long-term effects including:

• Unconsciousness
• Shortness of breath
• Muscle weakness
• Cold, clammy skin
• Agitation
• Stomach cramping and nausea
• Increased sensitivity to pain

Abusing oxycodone can lead to an overdose when taken too often or in too large of a dose. The effects of which can be sedation, unconsciousness, or in severe cases, respiratory arrest. Some physical signs of an oxycodone overdose include blue tint on the fingernails or lips. 

Men’s Oxycodone Addiction Treatment at the Last Resort Recovery

One of the primary advantages of a men’s only oxycodone addiction treatment center is the sense of camaraderie and support among peers facing similar challenges and experiences that have contributed to a substance use disorder. In a single gender environment men can feel more comfortable opening up and discussing sensitive issues and their drug abuse without fear of judgment. This sense of community can be incredibly therapeutic and foster the development of meaningful relationships between residents – often leading to ongoing support throughout the recovery process.

Our Oxy Rehab Program

For most men the journey towards overcoming addiction to oxycodone begins with a medically supervised detox. This process involves ridding the body of the opioid and managing withdrawal symptoms and cravings. After a medical detox, our treatment centers offer a range of therapeutic options to support clients in breaking their addiction to oxycodone.

The various therapy available at The Last Resort include:

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy – CBT helps clients learn how to change negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to their addiction. Professional counseling can provide support and guidance as clients work to adopt a positive mindset and make healthy lifestyle changes.
• Experiential treatments – These types of treatments allow individuals to engage in activities that facilitate personal growth and self-discovery, providing a unique and powerful form of therapy. Our equine therapy is a unique experience that involves interacting with horses and can help men develop trust, communication skills, and emotional awareness. And our Healing Heart Experience is a 2-day intensive workshop developed specifically for men dealing with trauma.
• Individual therapy – This is a collaborative process between a therapist and client with the shared goal of getting to the root of mental and emotional issues and improving the quality of life.
• Group Therapy – In this setting men can discuss their issues and challenges together with other men who have similar experiences.
• Family Therapy- A therapy to help family members resolve conflicts and improve communication with each other.
• Motivational Enhancement Therapy – A counseling approach that helps individuals resolve their addiction to drugs and engage in treatment.

Types of Substance Abuse Treatment Options for Men Suffering From Oxy Addiction

At The Last Resort Recovery Center, we offer a variety of rehab treatment options for men suffering from oxycodone addiction. We are committed to working with our clients to find the treatment option that best meets their needs and goals for recovery. All programs offer aspects of treatment which are individualized for each man.

Our inpatient or “residential program” involves round-the-clock care and support, with clients living on-site at our 55-acre ranch. This program provides a structured and highly supportive environment and includes evidence-based therapies. For men dealing with life-impacting addiction, this offers a needed break from their everyday lives to focus on recovery.

The intensive outpatient program, or IOP, at TLR allows clients to continue living at home while attending treatment sessions at the center. This program offers flexibility for those with less severe addictions or men who have completed residential treatment.

Our aftercare program is designed to provide ongoing support and guidance as clients transition back into their everyday lives after completing treatment. We believe aftercare is an essential part of helping our alumni maintain sobriety.
