Overcoming Percocet Addiction: Understanding The Risks And Finding Help

Apr 13 2023
Categories:Life in Recovery

Percocet, a prescription pain reliever containing oxycodone and acetaminophen, has become an increasingly common drug of abuse in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the majority of overdose deaths are related to opioids such as Percocet. This is alarming because Percocet addiction can lead to serious health risks, including liver damage and other organ failures, respiratory depression, coma, and even death.

In this blog post, we will explore the risks and warning signs of Percocet addiction, as well as the factors that may increase an individual's vulnerability to developing this type of chemical dependency. We will also discuss effective ways to overcome Percocet addiction, including the role of family members and addiction treatment centers.

Recognizing the Signs of Percocet Addiction

The first step to overcoming Percocet addiction is recognizing the warning signs and risk factors associated with this type of drug abuse. For example, individuals who have a family history of substance abuse, mental illness, or addiction may be more susceptible to developing an addiction to drugs like Percocet.

Additionally, individuals who have a novelty-seeking personality, impulsiveness, and a high tolerance for risk may also be more likely to become addicted to this or other drugs.

Other warning signs that a person may be addicted to Percocet include using the drug more frequently or in higher doses than prescribed, experiencing withdrawal symptoms when trying to quit, continuing to use the drug despite negative consequences, and using the drug to cope with emotional pain or stress.

Overcoming Percocet Addiction

Overcoming Percocet Addiction

If you suspect that you or a loved one may be struggling with Percocet addiction, it's important to seek help as soon as possible. You can start by contacting the National Institute on Drug Abuse or Addiction Helpline to learn more about your options for addiction treatment.

However, if you believe that the situation is severe, getting professional help from an addiction treatment center is advisable.

One effective way to overcome addiction is through inpatient or outpatient addiction treatment centers. These facilities provide a range of evidence-based treatments, including individual and group therapy, medication-assisted treatment, and behavioral therapies.

Inpatient treatment may be particularly helpful for individuals with severe addictions or co-occurring mental health disorders, while outpatient treatment may be more appropriate for individuals with milder addictions or significant family or work responsibilities.

Family members also play an important role in supporting individuals struggling with Percocet addiction. This can involve providing emotional and practical support, attending therapy sessions with their loved ones, and helping them navigate the complex process of addiction treatment and recovery.

Is Percocet Addictive?

Yes, Percocet is addictive.

Percocet is a potent medication, and it can be incredibly addictive for some people. The active ingredient in Percocet is oxycodone, an opioid (narcotic) substance which is habit-forming and difficult to stop taking. Taking more of the drug than prescribed or for longer than prescribed can lead to physical dependence and tolerance, both of which are hallmarks of addiction.

In fact, even when taken as intended Percocet can still cause psychological dependence due to its enjoyment-inducing properties. People who start taking the drug often develop strong urges to use it again and may require increased amounts over time in order to achieve the same effect – these are all signs of an addiction.

The risk of getting addicted also increases significantly when people misuse the drug by crushing or snorting it rather than taking it orally as directed by their doctor. Hallucinations, delusions, inability to concentrate, euphoria, and other effects may occur with misuse – all common signs of addiction that should not be ignored.

So while Percocet can be safely taken when prescribed by a doctor and monitored closely, those taking the drug should always be aware of its potential for addiction if used improperly or without medical supervision. Everyone on this medication needs to know the risks involved so they can be better informed about how best to manage their own use.
