Percocet Detox and Withdrawal Treatment
More than two million people in the U.S. are affected by percocet addiction, making percocet detox and withdrawal treatment an important source of support. Percocet, a potent medication containing oxycodone and acetaminophen, is commonly prescribed for pain after injury or surgery.
As an opioid-based medication, Percocet can quickly cause physical dependence that leads to addiction. Even after short-term use, withdrawal treatment may be necessary to help an individual stop using Percocet.
Seeking Percocet detox with medical supervision provides safe withdrawal management that sets the stage for lasting recovery.
What Is Percocet Detox?
As an opioid, Percocet binds to certain receptors in the body. It blocks pain and causes a euphoric effect by stimulating the release of endorphins (“happy” chemicals) in the brain.
With repeated use, the body becomes accustomed to the presence of Percocet, which has two effects. First, tolerance occurs, meaning the body requires more and more of the substance to achieve the same effect. Second, dependence occurs, which means the body requires the substance to feel “normal.”
Percocet detox is the process of breaking this dependence. It involves treating withdrawal symptoms and safely cleansing the body of Percocet.
Because the body has become dependent on Percocet, when the substance is no longer present, the body attempts to quickly adjust to its absence. This adjustment and stabilization process is referred to as withdrawal.
Opioid withdrawal symptoms range from minor flu-like symptoms to potentially life-threatening effects, which makes supervised Percocet detox and withdrawal treatment important for safe recovery.
Percocet Withdrawal Symptoms
As the body withdraws from physical dependence on Percocet, an individual can experience a variety of withdrawal symptoms. Many symptoms are flu-like and can include:
- Fever
- Aches
- Sweating
- Chills
- Runny nose
- Stomach cramps
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Watery eyes
- Shaking
Other Percocet withdrawal symptoms can be more severe, such as:
- High blood pressure
- Rapid breathing
- Accelerated heart rate
- Seizures
- Insomnia
Beyond these physical symptoms, Percocet withdrawal can also have emotional and psychological effects. These can include:
- Anxiety
- Restlessness
- Hallucinations
Medically Supervised Percocet Detox Care
The various Percocet withdrawal symptoms can make the process of quitting Percocet extremely uncomfortable. In some cases, it can be dangerous to go through withdrawal without medical support.
Medically supervised Percocet detox offers 24/7 clinical support to ensure a safe withdrawal process. On-site medical staff who specialize in addiction, detox, and withdrawal monitor your progress and provide any necessary care to stabilize your systems and prevent complications.
This treatment includes medications to manage symptoms so the process is more comfortable, as well as safer.
What to Expect During Detox
The first step of Percocet detox is intake. The detox facility will complete a thorough assessment to determine your treatment needs. This will include substance use, health history, and goals for recovery. The results of this assessment allow clinicians to develop a treatment plan.
Once your treatment plan has been established, clinicians will provide monitoring and support as you complete the withdrawal process. For inpatient medical detox, you will stay at the facility 24/7 to receive constant care.
This treatment may include medications, nutrition/hydration support, care for any co-occurring medical conditions, and an introduction to counseling to address mental health needs. The goals are to keep you as comfortable as possible, stabilize your physical health, and prepare you for ongoing treatment to achieve long-term recovery.
Transitioning from Detox to Treatment
Once Percocet detox has addressed the immediate physical aspects of addiction, you can transition to ongoing treatment to address the mental and emotional aspects. This treatment can occur on an inpatient or outpatient basis.
Inpatient vs. Outpatient Treatment
Inpatient rehab involves staying at a facility 24/7 to continue receiving round-the-clock care and supervision. Treatment includes individual and group counseling. You may also continue to receive medication-assisted treatment.
During outpatient rehab, you participate in many of the same therapeutic methods that are provided during inpatient rehab, but you do not stay at the facility overnight.
Therapeutic Methods
Common methods applied during rehab therapy include cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. These talk therapies focus on changing thought patterns to ultimately change behavior patterns.
Other therapy options include trauma-focused therapy and family therapy, based on individual needs.
These counseling sessions are often provided in conjunction with monitored medication-assisted treatment (MAT) designed to manage cravings and prevent relapse.
Aftercare
Your treatment post-detox will include support-planning for long-term recovery. Treatment staff will work with you to determine appropriate next steps to transition from detox to treatment, and from treatment to ongoing sobriety.
This aftercare may include continued counseling, community support groups, ongoing MAT, employment or housing assistance, and relapse-prevention planning.
