Does Your Loved One Need a Percocet Addiction Intervention?
If someone you care about is prescribed Percocet for an injury or after surgery, it may not always be readily apparent when regular prescription use turns into abuse and ultimately into an addiction that requires a Percocet addiction intervention. For others, it’s obvious. The changes in their behavior, their lack of involvement with the family, a lost job and lack of interest in hobbies are clear indicators that they need help now.
If you are concerned that your family member is living with a Percocet addiction that requires treatment, contact us at Michael’s House today. We can help.
Signs Your Loved One Is Living with Percocet Addiction
Living with someone who is actively addicted to a drug like Percocet can be like living with a ghost -a ghost who gets irritable when they run out of their medication. The person you used to know prior to the Percocet prescription may not exist anymore, and it can be an emotionally difficult experience for everyone in the family. If you notice that your loved one gets irritated when you ask about their drug use, becomes secretive about their prescription, starts going to multiple doctors or claims they need refills because they have “lost” some of the pills, then it may be time for a Percocet intervention that gives them the treatment they need to recover.
Before You Stage a Percocet Addiction Intervention
A little bit of planning goes a long way toward making a Percocet addiction intervention successful for your loved one. Getting together with others who would like to be included in the event gives you a chance to figure out who will speak to the addicted family member, what they will say and in what order.
Before the intervention is also that time to enroll your loved one in Percocet rehab. If you already have a spot secured for them in treatment, then there will be no downtime between the intervention and their departure for rehab. It’s important to capitalize on the momentum provided by an intervention by getting your addicted loved one into treatment immediately. Choosing a date for intervention based on availability at your chosen rehab can make that happen.
Staging a Percocet Addiction Intervention
The intervention itself may take hours if you have to wait for your loved one to sober up or far less time if he or she is coherent enough to have the conversation with you and other participants right away. Everyone gets a few minutes to share the reasons they believe the subject of the intervention would benefit from treatment. The hope is that your loved one will recognize the need for immediate treatment after hearing, one after the other, about multiple events and incidents that were negatively impacted or caused by their continued Percocet addiction.
