Hydrocodone Detox

The Importance of Hydrocodone Detox and Treatment

Hydrocodone is one of the most widely abused drugs in the United States. In fact, studies indicate that over the last ten years, Emergency Room cases attributed to the drug and its addictive effects have increased 500 percent.

One of the primary reasons for the prevalence of hydrocodone addiction cases is that the medication is commonly prescribed by doctors for the management of moderate to severe pain. After a period of time using the medication, the body will begin to develop a tolerance to it, resulting in the individual taking more of the drug to feel the desired effects. This is how the addiction develops and worsens.

While the drug is very popular on the street level, in many cases, it’s the patients who were prescribed the drug who make up a large percentage of patients in need of hydrocodone detox and rehab treatment.

Hydrocodone Withdrawal Symptoms

Hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms are very uncomfortable and will vary in severity depending on how long the individual has been using the drug. The discomfort of these symptoms is the primary reason for relapse in those who attempt a hydrocodone detox outside of a professional treatment environment. The symptoms associated with hydrocodone withdrawal include:

  • Intense craving for the drug
  • Depression
  • Insomnia
  • Muscle aches
  • Nausea / vomiting / diarrhea
  • Dilated pupils
  • Profuse sweating
  • Irritability
  • Fevers / chills

TESTIMONIALS

I know you will never believe it but it has been ten and a half months since I finished treatment and am still in recovery. I know you will say it may be more of a miracle that I finished rehab being that I was about as resistant a patient can be, but I am making it one day at a time. Special thanks to Robert.

This is to my therapist Bobby, who never gave up on me. I could never have made it through rehab without your patience. You taught me that I am worth it.

-- Bryan, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

My life was a shambles, my husband wanted a divorce and my children wouldn't speak with me. I felt hopeless until we all got together for family treatment. While we all have some hills to climb, my recovery is solid. Who would have thought, 476 days sober. Love to all.

-- Patti P, Atlanta, Georgia

You guys were right when you told me to get right into meetings. They have kept me clean and sober and I have made a lot of good friends. Thanks for bringing meetings into rehab.
