Percocet Addiction Treatment Center & Hospital in Belton, TX

Learn more about Percocet addiction treatment at Cedar Crest Hospital in Belton, TX

When used correctly and in accordance with a doctor’s instructions, Percocet is a highly beneficial substance. Used to alleviate moderate to severe pain during short-term intervals of healing, this substance can be safely consumed when one follows guidelines for safe dosage.

If Percocet is prescribed, it is accompanied by a warning that, if used improperly, the drug’s habit-forming properties could prompt one to become dependent upon it. Many who develop an addiction to drugs like Percocet do not intend to do so, as they were merely ingesting a substance that was legally prescribed by their doctor. But when this substance is consumed in ways that are not medically necessary, a dangerous dependence can take hold.

Further, due to the feelings of relaxation and euphoria that Percocet can create, individuals seeking a recreational high may be drawn to the drug as a substance of abuse. And when a person becomes addicted to Percocet, he or she will likely find it difficult to overcome his or her chemical dependence without professional help. If you or a loved one is battling a dependence on Percocet, the staff at Cedar Crest Hospital & Residential Treatment Center is here to assist you in taking those critical first steps toward healing and achieving a recovered, Percocet-free life.

Types of Percocet addiction treatment offered at Cedar Crest Hospital & Residential Treatment Center in Belton, TX

When you come to our Percocet addiction treatment center, you will first undergo a series of evaluations that will best allow us to determine your needs. Our medical evaluation will help us to learn how dependent you are upon Percocet and if you are suffering from any health concerns related to your Percocet abuse. The psychiatric evaluation will help us to determine if you have any co-occurring mental health disorders and begin to treat them as we work through your addiction and recovery. We will sit down with the results of these evaluations and work with you to create an individualized treatment plan that meets all of your needs.

Medication may be used at the beginning of your stay with us in order to control some of the unpleasant side effects of withdrawal and may be tapered down as you learn more adaptive ways of coping with cravings. Other times, people are prescribed medication to help control the symptoms of co-occurring mental health disorders such as depression or anxiety. All medication will be closely monitored and adjusted as needed.

Individual therapy is used to help you better understand the reasons behind your addiction and ways to correct the damage Percocet has done to your life. We will use cognitive-behavioral therapy to help you best understand the ways that negative thoughts can impact behaviors, leading to bad decisions.

Group therapy: As we model our addiction program around the 12-Step addiction recovery model, we believe firmly in the importance of group therapy. Groups will allow you to meet and connect with other people who are struggling with addiction. We will hold groups to help you process your emotions and learn more about successful recovery from addiction.

Family therapy is a very important part of recovery from substance abuse, as it will allow you to work through some of the challenges that addiction has caused your family. We will work to rebuild family relationships so that you will have a proper support system when you complete your stay in our rehab. Our compassionate staff will educate your loved ones about addiction, recovery, and ways that they can assist in your healing.

In addition to standard therapies we use to treat addiction, we also offer a variety of experiential methods designed to complement our traditional approaches. These may include:

• Art therapy
• Numerous walking trails
• Recreational therapy
• Music therapy
• Swimming pool

Continuing care and levels of treatment for Percocet addiction

Cedar Crest Hospital & Residential Treatment Center is proud to offer a number of treatment options designed to help all who come to us struggling with addiction. We strive to help each client who comes to us for help long after they leave our doors – our care will not stop upon discharge – we are always available 24/7 to offer guidance. When you no longer require the structure of our inpatient program, you and your loved ones will sit down to discuss your aftercare options. Our social worker will provide you with information about local support services, help you cope with the transition back into your home environment, and create continued treatment goals to ensure continuity of treatment.

Some people step down from our intensive inpatient program into a structured outpatient program like an intensive outpatient program (IOP) or partial hospitalization program (PHP), both of which allow for recovery and treatment during the day while slowly integrating back into regular life in the evenings. Others may feel they have made enough progress and are ready for discharge with referrals to our traditional outpatient therapy clinic.
