Top Percocet Withdrawal Symptoms

Percocet withdrawal symptoms can be mild to downright debilitating. Often flulike in nature, opioid withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous, too. That’s why it’s important to undergo detox at a licensed rehab center or hospital where your condition can be monitored by licensed clinicians, and you can obtain treatments such as medications that reduce your symptoms and improve your comfort.

Like other opioids, it is highly addictive. Combining an opioid drug, oxycodone, with acetaminophen, Percocet is prescribed to treat pain. When used as directed, patients should experience pain relief and relaxation. Misuse of Percocet can quickly lead to addiction. 
At Resurgence Behavioral Health’s Costa Mesa drug rehab for Percocet addiction, we treat all forms of substance addiction, including opioid addiction. Opioids result in more overdose deaths than any other drugs. If you have become dependent on Percocet or developed an addiction to this prescription drug, you can get help at Resurgence Behavioral Health. We tailor treatment plans to suit each patient’s needs. We offer comprehensive care in the form of inpatient treatment, outpatient treatment, aftercare, and medical detox. Don’t let the most dangerous opioids ruin your life and health. Let Resurgence Behavioral Health help you manage this addiction for good.

Understanding Percocet and Its Uses

Percocet is a combination of two active ingredients: oxycodone (an opioid) and acetaminophen (Tylenol). Clinicians prescribed this prescription medication to treat moderate to severe pain. Opioids block certain nerve signals, resulting in substantial pain relief. The downside of these powerful drugs is that they are addictive and subject to rampant drug abuse. Once you develop an opioid addiction, you have a chronic condition. The only way to effectively manage a drug addiction is with abstinence. Resurgence Behavioral Health can help you stop using Percocet and transform your life and health for the better. 

The Process of Percocet Dependence

Percocet dependence may not happen overnight, but it might not take long to develop one, either. Opioids like Percocet begin to work less effectively over time. This is because people will develop a tolerance to their dose after a while. Once they become tolerant, their dose works less effectively, and they may be tempted to take another dose earlier than directed by their prescription. Taking more of the drug paves the road to dependence. A person is said to be addicted to a drug when they are physically dependent as well as psychologically dependent. Each individual is different. Some people may develop a tolerance more quickly than someone else. Anyone can become addicted, so it’s important to use this drug just as directed by your healthcare provider. 

Common Percocet Withdrawal Symptoms

Withdrawal symptoms associated with Percocet can be extremely uncomfortable. Opioid withdrawal symptoms are often flulike in nature. Expect withdrawal symptoms such as:

• Nausea.
• Vomiting.
• Body aches.
• Chills.
• Elevated body temperature.
• Dilated pupils.
• Runny nose.
• Insomnia.
• Diarrhea.
• Profuse sweating.

When you get medical detox at Resurgence Behavioral Health, our clinicians can treat these symptoms so you can relax and rest more comfortably as the body rids itself of Percocet chemical toxins. After detox, people are ready to begin their rehab treatments.

All of the staff and nurses at resurgence are phenomenal. They helped me a lot and gave me hope at my lowest.—the two different times I came to both of their locations. Costa Mesa and riverside locations. I would recommend their programs to anybody! That is if you are looking for detox AND 30 day residential, not just detox. Thank you Resurgence! <3

This is my first experience with a rehabilitation center and I couldn't have gone to a better place or asked for a better staff or facility! I've truly found my home away from home here! Nikki, Lauren, Mike, and Cortez, just to name a few have truly made a significant impact in my life and of course made my recovery process possible...without these people I would not be clean and sober today. I've found my family through Resurgence and I owe my life to them! There are no words to describe how grateful I am!!!!! THANK YOU RESURGENCE I'LL LOVE YOU FOREVER!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️????????????????????
