Percocet Detox

A combination of the over the counter drug acetaminophen and the narcotic analgesic oxycodone, Percocet is an oft prescribed opiate painkiller that is highly addictive. Unfortunately, though you may have innocently developed a Percocet addiction through a doctor's prescription, when you're ready to stop taking the drug, you will need a Percocet detox to do so safely. The Canyon is here to help.

Percocet Detox: Why it is Necessary

When you're body becomes physically addicted to a drug like Percocet, your brain stops signaling the development of certain chemicals that you need that regulate emotion and body function. Dependent upon the constant influx of Percocet to trigger this chemical development, when it is suddenly taken away, your body revolts. Percocet withdrawal symptoms that develop as a response to the sudden disappearance of the drug are uncomfortable at best and devastating at worst. If you have a co-occurring medical condition or a burgeoning health problem, something that is likely with long term opiate use, an unsupervised Percocet detox can be deadly. Without it, your addiction to the drug will eventually be fatal as well. The only way to free yourself from Percocet addiction is to undergo a medically supervised Percocet detox.

Percocet Detox: What to Expect

When you enroll in a Percocet detox, you have two options to choose from: inpatient residential detox or an outpatient medical-only detox. Inpatient detox provides you with round the clock support from a medical staff to help ease your symptoms after you stop taking Percocet. Whether you choose to take an opiate blocker that circumvents withdrawal symptoms by tricking the body into thinking that the Percocet is still present in the system or opt instead to take different medications aimed at easing each withdrawal symptom as you experience it, you will never be without assistance to ease your physical discomfort.

An outpatient detox ranges from medication only to a more hands-on approach that offers support groups, therapy and meetings in addition to medication. In general, research shows that the more time and effort you put into your Percocet detox, the higher the likelihood of a successful recovery without relapse.

Percocet Detox: The First Step in Opiate Addiction Recovery

Percocet detox, though extremely effective in breaking your physical addiction to the drug, does nothing or very little to address the mental and emotional dependence you've developed on your opiate addiction. Few stay clean and drug-free for long after an opiate detox unless they immediately follow it up with opiate addiction treatment. A Percocet rehab, like the one offered at The Canyon, is a thorough treatment for opiate addiction that starts with a Percocet detox and follows it up with Percocet addiction treatment and relapse prevention as well as aftercare services or a sober living option.
