**Oxycodone detox types include out-patient, in-patient, and “at home”, with in-patient oxycodone detox typically providing the highest success rate.** Oxycodone is a potent opiate used to treat moderate to severe, long-term pain. It’s the main ingredient in many prescription medications including OxyContin and Percocet. One of the risks when taking this medication is that it can cause dependence. People who have become dependent **upon Oxycodone may need to detox** , especially if it’s [escalated to Oxycodone addiction](https://www.opiates.com/oxycodone/oxycodone-addiction-symptoms) . There is a high risk for severe withdrawal symptoms to occur if a person stops taking Oxycodone abruptly. Use should be gradually reduced overtime if possible. If not, professional detox can ease patients through withdrawal and stop cravings. Some physical symptoms of withdrawal may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, muscle pain, sweating and chills. People may also suffer from intense cravings, agitation, insomnia and depression. Due to the **possibility for intense Oxycodone withdrawal symptoms** , it’s recommended that patients be monitored during the withdrawal process.

## A Detox Facility That Houses Patients May Provide More Thorough Treatment

Inpatient treatment is an option to consider when choosing to detox from Oxycodone. This form of treatment is conducted in a facility that specializes in addiction and recovery, and it provides close monitoring for patients throughout the process. Most inpatient opiate treatment is inclusive and offers some form of detox **followed by counseling and aftercare** . Inpatient treatment programs generally require patients to check in for a specified period of time. It may also be referred to as “rehab.” Many facilities use a combination of medications to suppress the symptoms of withdrawal while patients detox. Medical detox is another option that includes **rapid opiate detox** . This can be considered an inpatient treatment but is usually for a shorter period of time. This procedure takes place in a hospital where highly trained medical staff can provide round-the-clock care in a medical setting. This helps to ensure a safe, comfortable procedure and recovery. Following a medical detox, treatment in an aftercare facility is recommended to continue the recovery process.

## Detoxing From Oxycodone Can Include Opiate Replacements, Meetings, Therapy

Outpatient Oxycodone detox is often conducted in a clinic setting and involves some form of **opiate replacement therapy** . This allows patients to gradually step down their use of Oxycodone by replacing it with longer-acting opiates such as Methadone, Subutex or Suboxone. The latter two contain buprenorphine. These medications are opiate-based and can also lead to dependence. Opiate replacements are usually administered in settings that allow patients to leave as soon as treatment is complete. This treatment doesn’t help patients become totally opiate free right away. It’s a more long-term approach to treating **opiate addiction** . Additional detox may be necessary if patients become dependent. Outpatient programs usually recommend some form of therapy and possibly, participation in a 12-step meeting. This type of extended support can help patients transition to an opiate-free life by offering ongoing care to address psychological problems associated with this condition.
