How to Make an Outpatient Percocet Detox Work for You
There’s no way to guarantee an outcome in any Percocet detox and addiction treatment program, but there are things that you can do to make your experience as successful as possible. Making an outpatient Percocet detox work for you starts with choosing the right type of treatment and remaining relapse-free throughout the entire program. What you choose to do after your outpatient Percocet detox also directly affects how well the detox program works for you.

Choosing an Outpatient Percocet Detox
There are a number of different types of outpatient Percocet detox and the type you choose can directly affect how well you do in the program. Medicated detox can be effective in helping you to stop taking Percocet immediately with a minimum of withdrawal symptoms. The medication you choose -buprenorphine or methadone -will depend on your dose of Percocet at the time you quit. It will also change your experience during Percocet detox. Both drugs are highly regulated by the FDA, but only methadone requires daily visits to a methadone clinic and regular check-in groups with your case manager. In some cases, this is helpful because it provides structure and some semblance of counseling. In other cases, the structure is too restrictive without more psychological care to help patients sustain the schedule.
Outpatient detox that doesn’t include medication may mean slowly stepping down the dose of Percocet over time. This is rarely an option utilized because it is too easy to slip and relapse.
Avoiding Relapse During Outpatient Percocet Detox
At a residential Percocet rehab, you have round-the-clock care that all but ensures you don’t relapse on Percocet or anything else during your stay. You can focus on your recovery without worry of falling prey to temptation. Unfortunately, this is not true of outpatient Percocet detox. In this type of program, patients are expected to stay clean and sober by any means necessary. Random drug tests are given and, too often, patients are expelled from the program when they can’t avoid relapse on their own.
Following Outpatient Percocet Detox
For some outpatient Percocet detox is enough to get started creating a new life without drug and alcohol addiction. Others -those who have a hard time avoiding relapse during treatment and suffer a number of stutter starts throughout the program -may find that the next best step is to enroll in a more intensive addiction treatment program. Residential Percocet rehabs offer detox as well as extensive psychotherapeutic addiction treatment and many follow up an unsuccessful or successful outpatient Percocet detox with inpatient care. Others opt to remain on an outpatient basis for their addiction treatment and enroll in addiction counseling, 12-step programs, sober living and more.
