Percocet Addiction and Treatment

As more and more prescribed pain relievers promise to help patients cope with their unbearable ailments and pain, their serious side effects which include everything from overdosing to experience what patients identify as “euphoriant bliss” to liver failure and in many cases death, seem to leave us wondering if they should even be legalized to begin with.

In the last few decades the FDA has approved the use of many narcotic painkillers that while help patient cope with pain, prove themselves to be “habit forming” and in many cases simply addictive. All in which conclude to patient suffering from withdrawal symptoms that persist upon completion of prescribed dosage.

Marketed in North America since the 70’s, the combination of Oxycodone and Acetaminophen commonly known as “Percocet”, is a strong painkiller which when taken in the regular doses, alleviates pain in patients. Although strictly available only when prescribed by a healthcare physician, Percocet has fallen into the hands of many individuals already suffering from the detrimental effects of drug abuse. Often combined with alcohol, drug abusers seek to experience high levels of euphoric pleasure upon mixing the two, unaware of the fatal side effects.
Because of its chemical makeup which consists of Acetaminophen, a pain killer and Oxycodone, a narcotic analgesic, this drug should only be prescribed to individuals with severe and persisting aches and pains, by a certified healthcare physician to determine the appropriate amount dosage that must be administered.

If you or someone you know have started using Percocet for medical reasons and have now become addicted to it, and can't stop using the drug, please find professional help.
Because addiction is typically a chronic disease, people cannot simply stop using the drug of their choice for a few days and be cured. Most patients addicted to prescription drugs require long-term or repeated episodes of care to achieve the ultimate goal of sustained abstinence of the drug and recovery of their lives.

Are There Treatments for Opioid Addiction?

Individuals who abuse or are addicted to prescription opioid medications can be treated. Initially, they may need to undergo medically supervised detoxification to help reduce withdrawal symptoms; however, that is just the first step. Options for effectively treating addiction to prescription opioids are drawn from research on treating heroin addiction. Behavioral treatments, usually combined with medications, have also been proven effective. Currently used medications are:

• Methadone, a synthetic opioid that eliminates withdrawal symptoms and relieves craving, has been used successfully for more than 30 years to treat people addicted to heroin as well as opiates. 
 
• Buprenorphine, another synthetic opioid, is a more recently approved medication for treating addiction to heroin and other opiates. It can be prescribed in a physician’s office. 

• Naltrexone is a long-acting opioid receptor blocker that can be employed to help prevent relapse. It is not widely used, however, because of poor compliance, except by highly motivated individuals (e.g., physicians at risk of losing their medical license). It should be noted that this medication can only be used for someone who has already been detoxified, since it can produce severe withdrawal symptoms in a person continuing to abuse opioids.

• Naloxone is a short-acting opioid receptor blocker that counteracts the effects of opioids and can be used to treat overdoses.

Opioids Adverse Effects

Opioids are analgesic, or pain-relieving, medications. Studies have shown that properly managed medical use (taken exactly as prescribed) of opioid analgesics is safe, can manage pain effectively, and rarely causes addiction.

Among the compounds that fall within this class are hydrocodone (e.g., Vicodin), oxycodone (e.g., OxyContin—an oral, controlled-release form of the drug), morphine, fentanyl, codeine, and related medications. Morphine and fentanyl are often used to alleviate severe pain, while codeine is used for milder pain. Other examples of opioids prescribed to relieve pain include propoxyphene (Darvon); hydromorphone (Dilaudid); and meperidine (Demerol), which is used less often because of its side effects. In addition to their effective pain-relieving properties, some of these medications can be used to relieve severe diarrhea (for example, Lomotil, also known as diphenoxylate) or severe coughs (codeine).

These medications are only safe to use with other substances under a physician’s supervision. Typically, they should not be used with alcohol, antihistamines, barbiturates, or benzodiazepines. Because these other substances slow breathing, their effects in combination with opioids could lead to life-threatening respiratory depression.

Patients who are prescribed opioids for a period of time may develop a physical dependence on them, which is not the same as addiction. Repeated exposure to opioids causes the body to adapt, sometimes resulting in tolerance (that is, more of the drug is needed to achieve the desired effect compared with when it was first prescribed) and in withdrawal symptoms upon abrupt cessation of drug use. Thus, individuals taking prescribed opioid medications should not only be given these medications under appropriate medical supervision, but they should also be medically supervised when stopping use in order to reduce or avoid withdrawal symptoms. Symptoms of withdrawal can include restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps (“cold turkey”), and involuntary leg movements.
