Online Suboxone treatment for oxycodone addiction in Tennessee

Oxycodone and the Opioid Epidemic

Oxycodone is a powerful prescription opioid commonly prescribed for moderate to severe pain. Known by brand names like OxyContin and Percocet, it is one of the most widely misused opioids in Tennessee.

For many, addiction begins with a legitimate prescription following surgery, dental work, or chronic pain. As tolerance develops, patients may increase their dosage or seek pills outside their prescription. Over time, this misuse can spiral into full-blown addiction — and in many cases, lead to heroin or fentanyl use when prescriptions run out.

At Recovery Care of Columbia, we recognize how quickly oxycodone dependence can take hold. That’s why we provide same-day Suboxone treatment across Tennessee through secure telemedicine appointments.

Oxycodone Withdrawal Symptoms

Withdrawal from oxycodone can be painful and overwhelming, beginning within hours of the last dose:

  • Muscle aches and joint pain
  • Anxiety and irritability
  • Runny nose and watery eyes
  • Sweating, chills, and goosebumps
  • Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
  • Strong cravings that make relapse common without medical support

Why Oxycodone Addiction is So Common

Unlike heroin, oxycodone often feels “safe” at first because it comes from a doctor’s office. But as tolerance builds, the brain adapts and becomes dependent. For many Tennesseans, oxycodone misuse becomes the first step on the path to more dangerous opioids.
