Oxycodone is a prescription opioid commonly used for pain management, but it carries a high risk of misuse, dependency, and addiction. According to the CDC, overdose deaths involving opioids increased from 70,029 in 2020 to 80,816 in 2021, illustrating the growing severity of the opioid crisis. If you or a loved one is struggling with oxycodone addiction, professional treatment is essential to detox and begin the journey to recovery safely. At Villa Oasis, we offer a full spectrum of care, including medically supervised detox, residential treatment, outpatient programs, and sober living support, to ensure that each individual receives the proper care tailored to their needs.
Our evidence-based approach focuses on treating both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction. With individualized care plans, we aim to equip you with the tools to maintain long-term sobriety and rebuild your life. Whether you require intensive residential care or flexible outpatient treatment, Villa Oasis is dedicated to supporting you through every step of recovery, offering a safe and supportive environment designed to foster healing and growth.
Oxycodone is a prescription opioid commonly used to manage pain by binding to opioid receptors in the brain to reduce pain sensations. While this makes it highly effective for short-term pain relief, the exact mechanism also contributes to its high potential for addiction. Over time, the brain adapts to the presence of oxycodone, requiring higher doses to achieve the same effect, a phenomenon known as tolerance. This leads to physical dependence and, in many cases, addiction.
Around 21-29% of patients prescribed opioids for chronic pain misuse them, and between 8-12% develop an opioid use disorder. Addiction occurs when a person begins to compulsively seek and use oxycodone, even when it negatively impacts their life. Common signs of oxycodone addiction include:
Without proper intervention, oxycodone addiction can lead to severe health risks, including overdose, respiratory failure, and death. The sooner someone seeks treatment, the greater the chances of a full recovery.
The first critical step in overcoming oxycodone addiction is safely removing the drug from your body through detoxification. However, opioid withdrawal symptoms can be not only uncomfortable but also potentially dangerous if not properly managed. Symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, muscle aches, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and intense cravings for oxycodone are common and can lead to relapse without professional support.
Opioid withdrawal can be particularly severe, and according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), roughly 9.2 million people misused opioids in 2021, highlighting the importance of medical intervention in treating withdrawal. At Villa Oasis, we provide medically supervised detox to ensure clients are safe and comfortable. Our experienced medical team closely monitors your condition and administers medications, such as buprenorphine or methadone, to ease withdrawal symptoms and reduce cravings. This careful approach helps minimize the discomfort and health risks associated with detox, allowing you to focus on your recovery.
For individuals who need more intensive care after detox, our residential treatment program provides a structured, supportive environment for recovery. Residential rehab offers round-the-clock care and access to various therapeutic modalities that address both the physical and psychological aspects of addiction.
During residential treatment, clients receive:
Residential treatment at Villa Oasis helps individuals build a solid foundation for sobriety by equipping them with the skills they need to manage triggers, avoid relapse, and live a balanced, healthy life.
While some individuals require the intensity of residential care, others may benefit from a more flexible option. Our outpatient treatment program allows clients to receive therapy and support while maintaining their daily responsibilities, such as work or school.
Outpatient treatment is ideal for individuals who:
Outpatient care at Villa Oasis includes many of the same therapeutic services as residential treatment, including individual and group counseling, family therapy, and holistic approaches. This level of care is designed to help individuals transition back into daily life while maintaining sobriety.
Recovery doesn’t end when treatment does. The transition from a structured rehab environment to everyday life can be challenging for many people. Our sober living homes provide a supportive, drug-free environment for individuals who are not yet ready to return home but want to practice independent living.
Sober living offers:
Our sober living homes help individuals maintain the progress they’ve made in treatment while preparing for a fully independent life in recovery.
Many individuals who struggle with oxycodone addiction may also have experience with other prescription opioids, such as Dilaudid or morphine. Understanding the differences between these drugs can help you make informed decisions about your pain management and recovery options. In comparing Dilaudid vs oxycodone, both are strong pain relievers, but Dilaudid (hydromorphone) is considered more potent. It is often used in hospital settings for acute pain but carries similar risks of addiction and dependence as oxycodone.
When evaluating morphine versus oxycodone, it’s important to note that both drugs are effective for managing moderate to severe pain. However, oxycodone is often prescribed in pill form for at-home use, while morphine is more commonly administered in hospital settings. Like oxycodone, both drugs have a high potential for misuse and addiction, requiring careful monitoring and responsible use.
At Villa Oasis, we understand that no two individuals have the same experience with addiction. That’s why we take a personalized approach to treatment, tailoring each rehab plan to meet the individual’s unique needs. Our experienced team of clinicians, therapists, and addiction specialists is committed to providing compassionate, comprehensive care at every stage of recovery.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
