How did my doctor’s prescription turn into illegal addiction?

Whenever you take more Percocet than the prescribed amount or take pills that weren’t prescribed to you a law has been broken. But Percocet addiction treatment is not about what is legal and illegal, it is about freeing our clients from the psychological pain and physical addiction that has taken over their lives and affecting all those around them.

Many people don’t realize that the Percocet symptoms include a rush very similar to that of heroin and the intensity of the dependence can be the same. Still others have escalated to full blown abuse of Percocet and get around the time release mechanism of the pill be crushing and snorting the powder through the nose or even injecting the powder in water through veins.

Why can’t I just stop on my own?

Even during the early stages of chronic use physical dependence on Percocet can develop quickly. The negative feelings of pain and anxiety that are felt when the pills run out only reinforce continued usage which leads to stronger physical dependence.

Not to be underestimated is the powerful psychological dependence on Percocet. Percocet is taken during times of anxiety or even to relax or celebrate. Percocet addiction offers an escape from the reality of family and financial troubles which are of course made worse by the abuse.
