Hydrocodone Addiction

Hydrocodone addiction can develop in one of two ways:

  • Through long-term use as a prescribed pain reliever
  • Through abuse of the drug for recreational purposes

When prescribed by a doctor, hydrocodone is effective at managing moderate to severe pain. But, over time, the body begins to tolerate the drug, thus prompting the individual to take higher doses of it to achieve the results previously experienced. As the tolerance progresses, so does the hydrocodone addiction.

Hydrocodone use produces certain side effects which will increase in severity the longer one uses the medication. These can include:

  • Dry mouth
  • Constipation
  • Sweating
  • Nausea
  • Drowsiness
  • Dizziness
  • Loss of concentration

If you or a loved one is showing the signs of hydrocodone addiction, you should seek help immediately. It's not too late; recovery is possible!

Hydrocodone Withdrawal

Hydrocodone is part of the opioid classification of drugs, and as such, it is highly addictive. When someone who is suffering from hydrocodone addiction attempts to stop using it, they are faced with a range of uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms. The most common symptoms of hydrocodone withdrawal include, but are not limited to:

  • Intense craving for the drug
  • Restlessness
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Insomnia
  • Severe muscle and bone pain

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.
