What is Percocet?
Percocet is a prescription painkiller combining the opioid oxycodone with acetaminophen, a non-opioid pain reliever, to manage moderate to severe pain. While effective for pain relief, Percocet has a high potential for misuse and addiction due to its opioid content, which can create a sense of euphoria. Misuse of Percocet can lead to physical dependence, overdose, and other serious health risks.
Treatment for Percocet addiction typically includes detox, therapy, and, in some cases, medication-assisted treatment to manage cravings and support recovery.
