You want to find help for Oxycodone addiction. Maybe for yourself or for a loved one, but
where do you start? There are three main sources of medical help for any drug addiction.
1. A family doctor 2. An addiction treatment center
3. A licensed clinical psychologist
Any of these medical professionals can offer you or a loved one sound medical advice for
addiction.
Your first point of contact can be a doctor. Family doctors can help you taper off of Oxycodone
or prescribe medications which help during detox. Doctors also know local addiction treatment
centers in your area and can provide you with a referral.
Next, you can try an addiction treatment center. Treatment centers offer the full scope of
help for Oxycodone addiction. Services often include detox psychotherapy and education
sessions on the nature of addiction.
Finally, you can feel a licensed clinical psychologist for help with Oxycodone addiction.
Psychologists help you address the reasons why you use Oxycodone as a coping mechanism-a
critical part of any addiction treatment program.
