Oxycodone is an opioid and is highly addictive. Detoxing from it is notoriously difficult, largely due to its addictive nature and the intense short-term benefits it brings. It is a drug with many useful benefits when used appropriately, and it has many appealing benefits to people who abuse it. However, it is a dangerous substance when it is abused, and if someone is addicted to or dependent upon it, they will need to overcome their dependence in order to avoid serious harm or death.

Over time, however, the short-term positive effects are overcome by many dangerous long-term effects, such as:
As mentioned above, oxycodone is quite easy to become addicted to and quite difficult to detox from. Most opiates are this way. Not only does oxycodone bring many intense physical and mental benefits in the short-term, but there are intense and serious withdrawal symptoms that may last a month or longer as someone tries to detox from it.
The positive effects of using oxycodone combined with the negative effects that follow from abstaining from it are enough to convince oxycodone users to relapse and continue using and abusing the substance.
