Vicodin Addiction

Vicodin is an antitussive opiate (hydrocodone) intended for treating severe pain or cough relief. Hydrocodone is a widely prescribed drug in the U.S. and has several hundred variants. Vicodin consists of a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen and is one of the most prevalent and abused of the hydrocodone drugs. Typically, Vicodin is abused orally in combination with alcohol.

Long-term Vicodin Addiction Effects

Extended use of Vicodin can lead to increased tolerance and addiction. Liver toxicity is a risk of Vicodin addiction and increases for those who have not built up a tolerance to the drug over time.

Vicodin Withdrawal Symptoms

Vicodin withdrawal can be a painful process, particularly after heavy use. Symptoms are typically experienced within hours of stopping the use and can last up to several weeks after, depending on the intensity of Vicodin use. Symptoms of Vicodin withdrawal can include muscle aches, insomnia, sweating, diarrhea, runny nose, anxiety, leg spasms, vomiting, chills, and mood disturbances.

Rapid Anesthesia Vicodin Detox

The RDD MethodSM for Vicodin detoxification under anesthesia is a medical procedure that elimates most of withdrawal symptoms. During the procedure the patient is given medication to relax and then put under light, general anesthesia for about 30 minutes. Following the procedure, recovery begins under direct medical supervision.

The patient's vital signs and overall physical and mental reactions to these medications are closely monitored during the detox procedure. In the days that follow, the patient often sleeps more than usual. Administered by professionals as part of a long-term drug-addiction recovery strategy, The RDD MethodSM has been shown to be significantly more effective than other courses of Vicodin addiction treatment.

Vicodin Addiction FAQs

Q. How do I know if I am addicted to Vicodin?
A. Because Vicodin is so addictive, even short-term users may require a detox program in order to successfully discontinue use. Addicts typically require higher doses of the drug and experience cravings for Vicodin between doses.

Q. How long does Vicodin detox take?
A. The length of the Vicodin detox process varies, depending on the pattern of typical use and on individual differences. The most severe withdrawal symptoms occur during the first several days after discontinuing use, making it important to seek immediate professional help from trained Vicodin-detox professionals.

Q. Is Vicodin-addiction recovery painful?
A. While recovery from Vicodin addiction can be painful, the right procedure can greatly reduce discomfort. Anesthesia Vicodin detox is a procedure that has been proven safe and effective at reducing the pain normally associated with Vicodin detox.

Q. How do I choose a Vicodin-detox program?
A. Talking to a trained detox or medical professional is the right first step in choosing the appropriate program. Call us at 1-888-825-1020 or contact us if you'd like to learn more.

We would never use other replacement addicting opiates, often prescribed by physicians and detox centers, such as Suboxone/Subutex (Buprenorphine) or injectable Buprenorphine. These schedule III controlled opiate drugs are routinely and widely used and approved by the FDA for opiate addiction maintenance, like Methadone. Many patients find themselves in the same situation as they were before drug treatment from a doctor or a drug rehabilitation center. We have heard of some in-patient rehab centers also using schedule II controlled liquid Hydrocodone and Dilaudid "cocktails". Patients soon realize these replacement drugs cause severe withdrawal once they are discharged from these programs. This causes the patient to seek opiates for relief from the severe discomfort of a Buprenorphine withdrawal. The use of these drugs for treatment of opiate addiction is merely switching one opiate drug for another, setting the patient up for failure. This does not solve the patient's drug addiction problem. As use of these drugs become more common, we are seeing a steady increase of requests for an anesthesia detox from patients addicted to Suboxone/Subutex (Buprenorphine). We can guarantee that our patients are 100% clean and free of any opiate drug after the RDD MethodSM and with placement of the Naltrexone Implant , the patient will stay clean and cravings will be eliminated.
