Percocet is the brand name for a combination of oxycodone and acetaminophen in pill form. A prescription painkiller, Percocet is an opiate classified as a narcotic. Its strong pain relieving qualities make it a prime candidate for chronic pain management.

However, the same things that make Percocet such an effective pain reliever also make it highly addictive. Regular use of the pain medication can create a tolerance in the body. This has two effects: one, your body requires more and more of the drug to achieve the initial pain relieving effects it first produced. Second, your system comes to depend upon a certain amount of Percocet at all times. When the expected level of Percocet drops, you experience withdrawal and when that happens, it is clear that Percocet addiction is present and that a California Percocet rehab is needed.

When is a California Percocet Rehab Necessary?

A California Percocet rehab is necessary when Percocet addiction is in effect. Percocet addiction is defined less by what happens when you take the drug and more by what happens when you don’t. It’s difficult to tell exactly what effect Percocet is having on you when you are in the midst of your prescription. Try to stop taking it, however, and the need for medical treatment at a California Percocet rehab becomes painfully clear.

Percocet is an opioid-based drug so when you take it, it binds chemically to the opiate receptors in your brain. These receptors directly affect the pleasure and reward center as well as the central nervous system. After a time, your body stop producing the “happy” chemicals it needs to handle a moderate amount of pain naturally or to be in a good mood. Instead, it depends on Percocet to create happiness and fight pain. Without it, you feel pain much more intensely and the mood swings are extreme. You begin to feel like you have the flu with all the requisite sweating, chills, runny nose, diarrhea, vomiting and nausea and more. These are called Percocet withdrawal symptoms and if you have them when you stop taking Percocet then you know that your prescription has caught up with you and physical dependence or addiction is in effect and a California Percocet rehab is necessary.

California Percocet Rehab and Percocet Addiction

A synthetic drug derived from the poppy seed, Percocet is a laboratory creation. Though medical professionals and researchers know quite about how Percocet works in the brain and nervous system, they do not fully understand the mechanism of addiction itself. We do know that there are contributing factors that can cause some to become physically dependent upon opiates like Percocet more quickly than others
