Brief Answer:
Needs proper psychiatric treatemnt

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Percocet is a narcotic painkiller and it difinately leads to addiction. Same has happened in the case of your son. Now that he is addicted to the percocet, whenever he will stop using it he is bound to get the withdrawal symptoms. He will require a proper detoxification which may be tried while he is in the indoor care. A combiation of buprenorphine and naloxone or even methadone can help him in getting detoxified gradually.
There after he may require a relapse prevention therapy with naltrexone or baclofen over a longer period. All these therapies need to be done under the cover of psychotherapy.
In short you need to seek his admission in some indoor unit to start his therapy.
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Dr. Srikanth Reddy
