Percocet Addiction Detox, Treatment, & Rehab Programs
Overview
Percocet addiction is a severe and chronic brain disease that can often be very challenging to overcome without professional help. Many individuals with Percocet dependence find that comprehensive, long-term care and support in a rehab center can be vital for maintaining a lasting recovery. At Guardian Recovery, we offer inpatient and outpatient programs, individualized treatment plans, and a wide range of therapeutic services and activities.
Developing Addiction to Prescription Percocet Medication
Addiction is a complex and multifaceted disorder that consists of changes in the brain’s structure and function. Psychoactive substances, including drugs of misuse, trigger the release of dopamine in the brain, a chemical associated with feelings of pleasure and reward. With continued use, tolerance can develop, meaning that increasingly higher doses are required to achieve the desired effects. This can lead to an escalation of substance use.

If a person receives a full continuum of care, the entirety of their treatment plan may last six months to a year or more.
