Darvocet Detox and Withdrawal

Darvocet is a drug prescribed to treat moderate pain caused by everyday ailments. Patients taking Darvocet can become dependent on the drug. If this happens, detox centers can help.

  • Anxiety
  • Fatigue
  • Loss of appetite
  • Weight loss
  • Stomach pains
  • Nausea
  • Diarrhea

If you are experiencing these withdrawal symptoms, call us today at to find a Darvocet withdrawal and addiction treatment facility that fits your needs.

Did You Know?

Taking Darvocet can reduce a person’s ability to think clearly and react quickly. Because of this, patients taking this drug should be careful when driving or participating in other potentially dangerous activities.

What to Expect in Darvocet Detox

detoxificationPatients are usually only prescribed to take Darvocet for a short amount of time, as little as a few days, because of its potential to cause an addiction. However, even if patients take Darvocet according to their prescriptions, they may still develop dependence on the drug. Darvocet detox centers can assist patients in recovering from addiction by easing withdrawal symptoms.

Upon entering the detox facility, doctors assess the physical health of the patients. They take down medical history and physical statistics such as height, weight, and age. If a patient started taking Darvocet to manage chronic pain, doctors determine what conditions the patient may have that are causing this chronic pain.

Darvocet detox programs have medical professionals on staff at all times to monitor the progress and symptoms of each patient. Doctors gradually reduce the dose of Darvocet that the patient is taking so withdrawal symptoms are minimal. If the withdrawal symptoms become too severe, the doctor may administer additional medication to the patient to make his or her recovery more comfortable.

Ongoing Addiction Care

“…patients who take Darvocet are at a high risk for Darvocet overdose.”
Before leaving a Darvocet rehabilitation center, doctors, nurses and addiction treatment professionals help patients come up with a plan to treat the chronic pain or conditions that caused them to start taking Darvocet in the first place. They may prescribe milder medications alternative to Darvocet and may even arrange for physical therapy. Treating the underlying cause of the pain prevents patients from relapsing or possibly overdosing on Darvocet in the future.

Did You Know?

According to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), patients who take Darvocet are at a high risk for Darvocet overdose. To combat this risk, drug companies are required to print warnings and specific instructions on Darvocet bottle labels.

Darvocet detox is not an addiction treatment on its own; it must be followed by an addiction treatment program. When patients check in to Darvocet rehab centers, they are usually given a psychological evaluation by a certified counselor or therapist. Throughout the course of treatment, the patient will meet with counselors and therapists to discuss these issues and learn how to cope with them without the use of drugs. Through therapy, it can help patients deal with psychological withdrawal symptoms, such as anxiety.

Patients may participate in physical therapy to help their bodies learn how to function properly again without taking Darvocet. Other therapeutic activities, such as yoga and massage therapy, are beneficial to patients suffering from Darvocet withdrawal symptoms. Activities such as these help strengthen the body and also relax the mind.

Family and friends of patients at Darvocet detox centers can show their support by being involved in the patient’s recovery process. At some centers, they may sit with patients during group therapy sessions and educate themselves about the addictions their loved ones are facing.
