Percocet Detox

• A high tolerance — needing to take more and more of the drug in order to receive the same or a desired effect.
• Changing its form — some abusers may crush Percocet into a fine powder or chew it for a faster high. This can potentially result in overdose.
• Mood and behavior changes — becoming angry, volatile, hostile, anxious or agitated, especially between “fixes” of the drug.

• Compulsive usage — craving Percocet and doing whatever it takes to get more of it, even if adverse physical, social or psychological consequences are experienced.
• Dependence — the experiencing of physical withdrawal symptoms if a dose of Percocet is missed.
• Financial issues — money problems associated with the need to purchase more and more of the drug.

• Secretive or deceitful behavior — using dishonest methods in order to obtain the drug.
• Doctor shopping — having multiple prescriptions from more than one doctor.
• Illegal procurement of the drug — buying Percocet on the street.

All of these signs are a strong indication that a person with substance use disorder to Percocet is in effect.

What is Detox?

Detox is an essential first step on the road to recovery. When you use drugs or alcohol for an extended period of time, dangerous and harmful toxins build up in your system. The detoxification process works to eliminate these toxins and free you from your physiological dependence on alcohol or drugs. Once you are free of the physiological addiction, your body and mind are prepared for the therapeutic work that follows in the next stage of treatment.

Individualized Detox Treatment

At Cliffside Malibu, we create individual plans for our clients in every stage of treatment, including detox. Our detox methods are successful because we put great care and planning into the alleviation of the physical symptoms of your withdrawal. Our programs employ an advanced range of medical therapies, all tailored to particular forms of addiction. Detoxification from alcohol, cocaine, heroin and prescription drugs all require specialized medical expertise. An individualized, professionally managed detox program is the foundation for achieving meaningful and lasting sobriety.

Comfortability During Detox

Your detox program helps your body recover from the physical dependencies associated with addiction in a safe, supportive environment. Drug addiction works by warping a person with substance use disorder’s metabolism so that he or she literally needs the drugs to sustain normal functioning. Drug and alcohol detox work by gently weaning your body off of the harmful chemicals it was depending on to function and allowing for the restoration of normal metabolic function. Remember, “comfortable detox” doesn’t have to be a contradiction in terms.

It’s important to reiterate that detox is the beginning of the drug rehab process, not the end. A successful detox process is vital to your prospects for long-term recovery, especially since the time you spend in this phase of your recovery is the foundation for everything that follows it. Those who receive only detox support with no other treatment will almost always return to substance abuse, usually in the short term. Cliffside Malibu integrates detox as intimately as possible with our drug rehabilitation programs, so that clients can build on the momentum they’ve attained during detox in order to successfully navigate the comprehensive addiction treatment that comes next. Remember, addiction recovery is a process that requires full participation and effort. But make no mistake, the effort is worth it. It all starts with detox. Call us now at (424) 320-3061.
