Prescription Drug Addiction
Percocet Addiction
Percocet is a narcotic pain reliever that is comprised of oxycodone and acetaminophen and it is commonly prescribed by doctors for the management of pain. Because it is part of the opioid classification of drugs, it is highly addictive, meaning that long-term use of the drug can result in the development of a Percocet addiction.
Percocet addiction can also develop through recreational abuse of the drug. In both cases, the symptoms and side effects of overuse is the same. Percocet addiction can cause the following side effects:
- Profuse sweating
- Confusion
- Loss of concentration
- Dry mouth
- Nausea
- Constipation
- Drowsiness
In addition to the above physical side effects, Percocet addiction can also cause a number of personal problems, including:
- Loss of employment
- Financial problems
- Ruined relationships
- Legal problems
- Psychological difficulties
Percocet Withdrawal
Because Percocet is so highly addictive, withdrawal symptoms can quickly start whenever one tries to stop using the drug. Percocet withdrawal is often uncomfortable and very difficult to manage without professional supervision. Common symptoms of Percocet withdrawal include, but are not limited to:
- Vomiting
- Insomnia
- Diarrhea
- Restlessness
- Muscle and bone pain
- Seizures
- Convulsions
A quality, medically-based detox program can help you safely reduce or even eliminate the painful symptoms of Percocet withdrawal, leading to a much more comfortable and effective recovery.

TESTIMONIALS
I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert.
-- Terrance G, Morristown, New Jersey
This is to my therapist Bobby, who never gave up on me. I could never have made it through rehab without your patience. You taught me that I am worth it.
-- Bryan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all.
-- Patti P, Atlanta, Georgia
You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab.
-- Dean W, Dallas Texas
