Ultracet Addiction

Even when prescribed by a doctor, Ultracet is an opioid-based drug and highly addictive. This can cause a problem when treating chronic pain or even acute pain after a surgery or injury. Depending upon the dose and the individual, Ultracet can be addictive in as little as a week of regular use. It is the nature of the drug and not the person that dictates whether or not use of Ultracet will turn into an addiction. Simply taking a prescription exactly as the doctor orders can result in a physical dependence upon the drug and it is this physical dependence that defines addiction to Ultracet.

At Meditox, we can help treat your addiction to Ultracet as painlessly as the addiction occurred: at home and with an FDA-approved substitution prescription that will let you detox with few or no withdrawal symptoms to speak of.

What is Ultracet Addiction?

An addiction to Ultracet begins the first time you take your prescribed dose. By binding to the opiate receptors in the brain, Ultracet blocks your experience of pain and produces a sense of euphoria. In the presence of Ultracet and other opiates, your body no longer needs to create the chemicals that would help mitigate pain and create a happy mood naturally. Taken over a few days or a few weeks, your body no longer expects to have to make any pain-blocking or happiness chemicals. Stop taking the drug and your body is completely devoid of any of those chemicals, natural or synthetic. Instead, you experience nasty withdrawal symptoms that include nausea and vomiting, bone and muscle aches, inability to eat or sleep and an overall irritability that permeates every experience. Without a medical detox and treatment like the one provided by Meditox, these symptoms will start soon after your last dose and increase in severity, lasting several weeks.

What Causes Ultracet Addiction?

An addiction to opiates like Ultracet has no known root cause. It is a chemical adaptation that occurs. If you are taking opiates on a regular basis, you will develop an addiction. No one knows why. What we do know is that there is a way to break that addiction with as little physical discomfort as possible and that is with a substitution prescription for Subutex and Suboxone like the one provided by Meditox to qualified patients who will respond well to the detox and treatment.

How Does Meditox Treat Ultracet Addiction?

The FDA approved Suboxone for treatment of opiate addiction without requiring an undo time commitment that many other drugs prescribed for addiction require. No enrollment in a drug treatment program is necessary, for example. Neither are you required to attend 12-step meetings, group therapy or educational classes. Meditox is an outpatient treatment program in the truest sense of the term: you need only come see us for one appointment and one appointment only after which you are free to return home and resume your life, each day growing more and more clearheaded and able to maintain your relationships at home, work and in the community.
