Percocet Addiction: The Dangers
There are many dangers associated with Percocet addiction. As with codeine, Percocet and morphine, Percocet is an opiate available only through prescription. Percocet contains Oxycodone and acetaminophen, with the active component being Oxycodone, a narcotic analgesic. Percocet is available in tablet form and it is not uncommon for those with a Percocet addiction to take between 20 - 40 pills daily. Physically and emotionally addictive, Percocet acts as a "block" to pain receptors in the brain and affects the brain by producing a wonderful euphoric feeling. It is this euphoria that those with a Percocet addiction continue to recreate. Unfortunately, this initial feeling is rarely recreated, but the Percocet addict continues to try by increasing the amount of Percocet they are using and the frequency in which they use it. What develops is a greater tolerance for the opiate, and subsequently, a Percocet addiction.
Percocet is mainly utilized by physicians as a pain reliever. The patient takes Percocet to manage pain. The patient experiences partial pain relief as well as a pleasurable feeling. In an attempt to completely relieve the pain or to recreate the emotional pleasure, the user increases their dosage of Percocet. The results are usually the same. The pain is never completely eliminated and that pleasurable feeling is never recreated. The Percocet user has succeeded in creating a tolerance for the drug and a Percocet addiction occurs.
Percocet Addiction: The Effects
Many people take Percocet for pain relief. Others take it as an escape from emotional issues that are plaguing their lives. Rather than dealing with feelings of depression, anxiety and fear, Percocet abusers use the drug to “dull” their emotional pain.
Regardless of the reason for initial Percocet consumption, as Percocet use increases, so will the physical symptoms. These symptoms include, but are not limited to:
- Loss of concentration
- Dizziness
- Sweats
- Constipation
- Dry mouth
- Nausea
- Drowsiness
In addition to physical symptoms, Percocet abusers also often experience deterioration in personal relationships, financial difficulties, legal problems, employment difficulties as well as, psychological difficulties.
If someone you know takes Percocet and is experiencing loss of concentration, sweats, constipation, drowsiness, or other symptoms, they may have a dangerous Percocet addiction. Call 1-800-99-DETOX and get immediate attention TODAY.
Percocet Addiction Withdrawal
Percocet is physically addictive. To abruptly discontinue its use could have devastating effects including seizures or convulsions. We urge you to seek professional and medical supervision before undergoing Percocet withdrawal. Entrance to residential Percocet addiction treatment programs seems to be the best defense against any medical complications that could occur during Percocet withdrawal.
Percocet withdrawal discomfort varies depending upon the amount of the drug taken and the length of the abuse. It is not unusual for those with a Percocet addiction to consume up to 40 pills daily. The symptoms one might experience during withdrawal from Percocet, include insomnia, vomiting, restlessness, diarrhea, and muscle and bone pain.
Percocet Addiction Treatment
Due to the physical dependence created by Percocet abuse, addiction treatment should begin in a residential detox center. It is here, under medical supervision, that the symptoms associated with withdrawal from Percocet are managed. The average length of time spent in a Percocet addiction detox center is approximately seven days during which time the addict is monitored for both medical and psychological problems.
After Percocet addicts are medically stable, they generally proceed to residential treatment centers to complete the drug rehab programs established for their recovery during detox.
What to Expect in Percocet Rehab Programs
Percocet rehab programs allow addicts to address their feelings of shame and disappointment, as well as the detrimental effects their Percocet addiction has had on their loved ones. Percocet addiction recovery in a supportive therapeutic environment eliminates outside distractions and allows the addict to concentrate on both the emotional and physical issues directly relating to their addiction. This Percocet addiction treatment process is usually accomplished within twenty days and may be followed by outpatient therapy.
