It always starts innocently enough. Scientists developed Percocet as a painkiller for doctors to prescribe for severe non-chronic pain conditions. There’s no harm in that. Unfortunately, America is now in the throes of a prescription medication abuse epidemic, and guess what? Percocet has become a favorite drug among prescription drug abusers. It should not be surprising that the continual abuse of this substance is creating a need for more Percocet rehab facilities.
As indicated above, Percocet is a prescription painkiller. Like most other pain-killing medications, this particular drug is opioid-based. It has many of the same properties as Oxycontin, morphine, and heroin. As such, the drug exposes the user to the ever-present dangers of a Percocet addiction.
When patients take Percocet as prescribed, they can expect positive benefits in the form of pain relief. The drug acts fast on the central nervous system to suppress pain and discomfort. Drug manufacturers never intended drugs like this for long-term use. That’s why doctors prescribe Percocet for “non-chronic” pain conditions.
Unfortunately, the drug’s high propensity for addiction makes it dangerous. Most recreational drug users couldn’t care less about pain relief. They prefer a drug like this for the euphoria it creates. Along with euphoria, the drug also comes with a bevy of side effects. It’s safe to assume many people in Percocet rehab have learned about these Percocet side effects the hard way.
Once an individual becomes addicted to opioids, they find themselves in a quandary. Any attempts they make to stop taking these drugs exposes them to some rather severe withdrawal symptoms. This includes symptoms like muscle cramping, nausea, tremors, hallucination, mood disorders and heart/breathing problems. In Percocet rehab, addiction treatment centers must deal with these unintended consequences.
It’s alarming just how common prescription drug abuse is becoming. Oxycontin and Percocet rehab graduates are growing in numbers across the nation. With any substance abuse disorder, treatment at an addiction treatment center is the only viable solution.
In the Percocet rehab world, most incoming addiction treatment patients require a stint in detox. These patients often need a safe and secure environment to get through withdrawal. At a premier rehab facility like Beaches Recovery, clinicians prescribe detox as part of the recovery process. With a clean mind and body, patients are better able to focus on and commit to therapy.
Individual therapy is a critical component of the recovery process. Patients need an environment where they can speak honestly with a professional counselor or clinician. The objectives are always the same. First, the patient needs insight as to why they feel the need to abuse substances. From there, they can start to build the coping skills they will need to deal with stress and triggers. Adequately equipped with knowledge and the ability to cope, many recovering addicts can avoid relapse.
At our facility in Jacksonville, Florida, we specialize in the treatment of addictions to prescription medications. Our treatment programs focus on the concept of every patient as a unique individual. As such, they require a custom treatment program that addresses their unique circumstances. We are Joint Commission accredited and accept most major healthcare plans as a payment option. Here’s a partial list of our treatment options:
