Oxycodone Detox
Oxycodone, commonly referred to by the brand name OxyContin, is a highly addictive prescription drug, often prescribed to manage chronic pain. Dependence can develop quickly and can spiral into a full-blown oxycodone addiction, where the need for the drug overshadows everything else in your life. At Delamere, the first step to OxyContin rehab is a safe and successful oxycodone detox where we will support you every step of the way.


Tailored OxyContin detox at Delamere
Unlike many other UK providers, OxyContin detox programmes at Delamere are completely tailored to each guest. We know from experience that everyone’s relationship with addiction is different which is why we do not subscribe to a one-size-fits-all approach to OxyContin addiction detox and rehab. During a stay at Delamere, guests receive a medical assessment by our team of doctors and nurses who will prescribe a course of approved medications to make withdrawal as safe and comfortable as possible.
Medications are administered in regular intervals by our 24-hour on-site nursing team who can react proactively to minimise uncomfortable symptoms. We recognise that entering a detox for oxycodone can be overwhelming and challenging, which is why our treatment plans are not rigid – they are personalised to suit your unique circumstances and recovery pace. Our rural Cheshire location is the ideal environment for guests to take the time out and complete a successful detox from OxyContin.

The benefits of an inpatient detox from oxycodone
It cannot be understated the potential severity of detoxing from oxycodone without the support of a medical professional. Where oxycodone addiction has caused a physical dependency, it is of the utmost importance that medical professionals are consulted prior to withdrawing from the substance as going ‘cold turkey’ can have the severest of medical consequences. Whilst detoxing from OxyContin at home is possible it is not a recommended road to recovery.
Aside from physical problems a home detox from oxycodone may trigger, it is also far more likely to be unsuccessful, resulting in higher rates of relapse. At Delamere, an OxyContin detox is supported by both psychiatrists and medical professionals to assist with the psychological and physical aspects of withdrawal. During an oxycodone detox at our Cheshire clinic, you will receive unparalleled support on a physical, emotional, and psychological level to ensure maximum comfort, safety, and positive outcomes.




What to expect from an OxyContin detox at Delamere
The initial phase of our opiate detox treatment ‘Stop’ starts with some light therapeutic work while you undergo detox which helps you settle in and connect. This introductory work is carried out in interactive groups during which we get to know you and what’s brought you into treatment.
What you can expect from our ‘Stop’ programme is:
- A full medical detox for any alcohol or substance dependence
- Your own private room with en-suite facilities
- A health screening from our specialist substance misuse Doctor
- To socialise in client lounges with fellow guests
- 24-hour access to our fully qualified nursing team
- A deliberately light introduction to therapy
- Medication (if required) to alleviate any withdrawal symptoms
- To start feeling better, quicker than you might expect
- Plenty of rest, recuperation, and nourishment
- Access to our gym and forest surroundings when physically fit
‘Stop’ lays the foundations for the following stages of our rehab programme. Once you have completed your detox, staying stopped and future-proofing your abstinence is the next step. Everything we offer at Delamere aims at effective and lasting outcomes in addiction treatment:
How to encourage a loved one to go to rehab
If you are looking to help a family member, work colleague, or loved one, admit themselves to an addiction rehabilitation centre, we’re here to help. It may be that the person in question is in denial about the extent of their problem, possibly even refusing to acknowledge that there’s a problem – and resisting professional help. At Delamere, we provide family support services and help your loved one confront addiction and denial.
Should it be necessary, we also offer intervention services whereby we take the time to understand what is happening and help prepare and rehearse a formal intervention that will culminate in your loved one entering treatment with us. If you are considering organising an intervention for your loved one, friend, or colleague, contact Delamere today.

An oxycodone detox will be different for each individual. Typically, withdrawal symptoms can subside after roughly 7 days, but this figure depends entirely on the severity of the addiction.
