Prescription painkillers are a standard part of healthcare. They help those recovering from injuries, surgeries, or other health complications. For those living with chronic pain, they can feel like a lifesaver.
The problem is that painkillers are highly addictive. Worse, the body also builds up a tolerance, pushing you to use higher doses. This applies to all painkillers, including Percocet.
If you’ve found you cannot stop using Percocet and that your quality of life and safety are being put at risk because of your Percocet abuse, then it’s time to find an alternative. For those with chronic pain, this can be an alternative pain management strategy.
Everyone struggling with substance abuse, however, does not need to handle it alone. We offer the support and expert treatment you need to make real progress and achieve lasting recovery.
What is Percocet?
Percocet is a brand name of a prescription medication that contains oxycodone and paracetamol and is used to alleviate pain. Like other opioid painkiller options, Percocet works by attaching to the opioid receptors in the body. In doing so, it blocks out pain messages in your brain. It also tends to cause a sense of euphoria, which can be highly addictive on its own.
Other Names for Percocet
On the street, Percocet has other names, including:
Cotton
Hillbilly heroin
As Percocet’s primary opioid is oxycodone, it may also be referred to as oxycodone, oxy, OC, oyxcet, or oxycotton.
Signs and Symptoms of Chronic Percocet Abuse
Percocet addiction is hard on the body, but there are more signs and symptoms of this addiction than just the physical symptoms.
When you abuse Percocet in the long-term, you may develop:
Liver damage
Kidney damage
Respiratory problems
Heart problems
You will also build up a tolerance, making it more likely that you’ll become physically dependent.
The real signs of a Percocet addiction, however, include:
Taking Percocet for non-medical reasons
Taking larger or more frequent doses of Percocet
Drug-seeking behavior
Putting yourself in financial or legal trouble for more Percocet or oxycodone
Withdrawing from people, hobbies, and interests you used to care about
Challenges with Quitting Percocet on Your Own
It’s easy to become physically dependent on Percocet, even if you were initially put on it for valid reasons. Suppose you have a co-occurring disorder or mental health illness, for example. In that case, you’re more at risk of developing a Percocet addiction, and that needs to be taken into consideration in your treatment plan.
It’s also why it can be hard to quit Percocet on your own. After all, emotional, physical, and psychological aspects are at play.
Physical Dependence: One of the aspects of your treatment plan that we’ll cover is helping you overcome that first stage of withdrawal and then helping you build the coping skills to prevent relapse in the future. We’ll do this with a mix of mental and behavioral healthcare.
Psychological and Emotional Dependence: One of the reasons many use Percocet for non-medical reasons is for that euphoric high, which can be highly effective at alleviating anxiety or depression – for a short period. We work with you to build a healthier lifestyle that considers your mental health for lasting recovery.
Withdrawal Symptoms: Several uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anxiety, and insomnia. These can make it painful to detox and quit Percocet on your own.
What Makes Our Percocet Rehab in Tennessee Stands Apart From the Rest
Here at Magnolia Ranch Recovery, we offer you the support you need at every stage of your substance abuse recovery. We offer everything from inpatient treatment to intensive outpatient to ongoing outpatient programs. Industry experts will guide you through your recovery, and you will have frequent access to your therapists.
Typically, you’ll get a single one-on-one session per week. At Magnolia Ranch Recovery, you can see your therapist up to two to three times daily.
This intensive approach often allows you to finish your inpatient treatment in just 28 days, though we can extend it if necessary.
Safe and Comfortable Percocet Detox in Tennessee
Our detoxification services are extensive. We can work with the local hospital to offer partial hospitalization treatment if needed. Otherwise, on-site medical staff will supervise your detox every step of the way. We can even make your detox more comfortable by managing the withdrawal symptoms and using medication-assisted treatment to help ease your cravings.
Dual-Diagnosis Support for a Long-Lasting Recovery
We understand there are underlying causes that contribute to your Percocet addiction. You may have started to alleviate pain, for example, but found that the euphoric side effect helps you manage your anxiety or even helps relieve depression symptoms.
That’s why we work to help you learn how to manage all causes of your Percocet addiction with dual-diagnosis support. Percocet addiction treatment without an equal focus on the mental health challenges will not give you the skills you need to maintain sobriety.
Those in our Percocet addiction treatment learn how their mental health has led them to their addiction and how they can be more in control in the future.
Substance Abuse Therapy Treatment
As part of your Percocet addiction treatment, you’ll have access to clinical therapists and psychologists who can help you understand your mental health, the thoughts that lead to addiction, and how you can gain control over those thought cycles through cognitive behavioral therapy or DBT.
Those getting Percocet treatment learn how to cope with their cravings and build the skills needed to recover from their Percocet addiction in the long term. Our experts will also help you make a tailored relapse prevention strategy for when you move into outpatient treatment.
Holistic Addiction Treatment and Life Skills Building Exercises
Percocet treatment offered here at Magnolia Ranch Recovery also includes several life skills-building classes and holistic therapies to help you regain confidence, build a new community, and reconnect with your self-worth.
You can expect:
Art therapy
Yoga
Meditation
Equine-assisted therapy
And more
Equine-assisted therapy, for example, is very effective at helping you rebuild your confidence while establishing a strong bond with one of our on-site horses. You’ll give back and build responsibility during groundwork while cutting loose, having fun, and respecting your horse during riding sessions.
Family and Group Therapy Treatment
Your network and support system are crucial for relapse prevention. That’s why we organize group therapy from the start and later open sessions to family members.
Group therapy is a great way to find others who understand, exchange tips, and share your journey. Knowing and feeling like you aren’t alone can help you with your ongoing recovery and is extremely effective in achieving long-lasting sobriety.
Family therapy with your most important person or close family members can also greatly enhance your lasting recovery. That’s why we’ll bring in friends and family for special sessions to help you repair and improve your relationships before you move on to an outpatient program.
Beautiful, Peaceful Addiction Treatment Center
Our beautiful addiction treatment center is in the heart of the Tennessee countryside. With 38 acres, horses, and natural beauty, it offers a peaceful destination to recover effectively. Here, you can learn how to manage your addiction, as well as the underlying mental health co-occurring disorder that may be holding you back from lasting recovery.
Intensive, Individualized Therapy When You Need It
You can receive two to three individual therapy sessions per day here at Magnolia Ranch Recovery instead of the once-per-week sessions offered by other treatment providers.
This individual therapy allows you to discover the coping skills and treatment methods that work best for your Percocet addiction. It’s also why the inpatient section of our treatment can be as short as 28 days, whereas it would be 3 months elsewhere.
Having this regular access to your therapists is an extremely effective way to peel back your concerns and help you rebuild in a healthier way.
Ground Transportation Up to 4.5 Hours Away
Our beautiful ranch is 75 miles from Nashville, Tennessee. However, if you can’t drive that distance, we also offer ground transportation up to 4.5 hours away. We aim to help as many Tennessee residents as possible get the treatment they need to finally gain the coping skills they need to lead a healthier lifestyle.
