Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment - Treatments for Opioid Addiction


Individuals who abuse or are addicted to prescription opioid medications such as OxyContin, Percocet, Vicodin, Demerol, and Fentanyl can be treated sucessfully. Initially, depending on the level of addiction, the individual 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 are extremely effective.

For all addiction treatment needs and levels of care, Cove Center for Recovery – Drug Rehab, employs a team of qualified and caring addiction treatment professionals, offering a Treatment Program for Young Adults and Adults, who are addicted to prescription drug medications.

Cove's goal in addiction treatment is to treat the disease, build the individual's self confidence showing them how to take charge of their lives and reunite the family.

Cove's prescription drug addiction treatment programs are designed around a positive environment to boost the individual’s self-esteem and produce long term results. Therapy aka psychotherapy and counseling, helps patients develop coping skills that can help them to avoid relapse and has been shown to significantly improve the likelihood of long-term treatment success.

Other therapeutic modalities of treatment are helpful in resolving ongoing, interpersonal struggles. Trauma Therapy, Grief Therapy, Anger Management, Stress Management, Art Therapy, Music Therapy, and Meditation, are important therapeutic techniques each recovering individual receives at Cove Drug Rehab Center.

Cove Prescription Drug Addiction Treatment Program provides education on the cycle of addiction, in an effort to help each individual identify behaviors in the cycle and side-step relapse before it occurs. When an individual recognizes behaviors such as non-compliance with medication, excessive stress, denial or reduced effort in recovery groups such as NA, then the individual can STOP the relapse before it begins.

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.

Nationally recognized, residential addiction treatment center -  Cove Center  for Recovery is known for it's unique approach to "Real Life" Treatment and Recovery."Nothing Changes if Nothing Changes."
