Percocet Addiction FAQ
Family members who have concerns that their loved ones are living with Percocet addiction will have a lot of questions. Here are some of the most frequently asked questions that we hear at Michael’s House -and their answers.
Do You Need a Percocet Prescription to Develop Percocet Addiction?
Your loved one’s best chance at getting Percocet addiction treatment is for you to recognize the signs and symptoms of the addiction, but family members may not believe that their loved one could be addicted to the drug if they don’t have a prescription. However, it is remarkably easy to get the drug with no prescription. Teens and adults can gain access to the drug and develop an Percocet addiction through a combination of the following:
- Medicine cabinets of family and friends
- “Pharming Parties” or parties where a variety of prescription drugs are available
- Through international pharmacies online that don’t require a prescription
- Illegal dealers on the street
How Do I Know If My Loved One is Living with Percocet Addiction?
Some of the symptoms that let you know that your loved one needs Percocet addiction treatment include:
- Sudden mood swings
- Percocet missing from yours or someone else’s prescription
- Criminal behavior such as stealing money
- Credit card charges to an Internet pharmacy site
- Increasing absence from home
- Sudden poor performance in school or at work
How Do I Help My Loved One Fight Percocet Addiction?
Helping your loved one when it comes to opiate addictions like Percocet addiction means helping them get into an opiate detox and addiction treatment program as soon as possible. Oftentimes the best way to do this is to begin with an intervention. At an intervention, you and those close to your loved one can face him or her and help them understand just how serious Percocet addiction has become for them. Through one anecdote followed by another and another, your loved one will be unable to deny that a serious problem exists. The intervention ends with you offering your loved one the opportunity to attend treatment at a Percocet rehab.
Can I Enroll My Loved One in Percocet Addiction Treatment Without Their Consent?
You can call a Percocet rehab facility and enroll your loved one in any treatment program -you can even pay the bill and choose their first day of treatment. However, if your loved one is over the age of 18, you cannot force them to accept your offer of treatment. That’s the purpose of an intervention: to show them that their best option is to choose Percocet rehab and help them to agree to enter the treatment center you have chosen for them.
