Vicodin Detox

Who Needs Vicodin Detox and Treatment?

Vicodin is a popular narcotic prescribed for the management of moderate to severe pain. It’s also one of the most commonly abused prescription drugs. Its addictive properties are directly tied to its classification as an opioid-based medication.

If you have been taking Vicodin for a prolonged period of time, your body may have developed a tolerance to the drug. One of the tell-tale signs of this is whether or not you experience Vicodin withdrawal symptoms whenever you miss a dose or you attempt to stop using the medication. If withdrawal symptoms are felt when cessation is attempted, then you should seek professional Vicodin detox and rehabilitation treatment immediately.

Vicodin Withdrawal Symptoms

When an individual attempts Vicodin detox on their own, it is rarely successful because the withdrawal symptoms associated with coming clean can be quite powerful and overwhelming. In most cases, the individual will forego the detox and take another dose of the drug to help ease the symptoms, which can include:

  • Involuntary leg movements
  • Muscle pain
  • Watery eyes / runny nose
  • Bone pain
  • Loss of appetite
  • Restlessness / insomnia
  • Vomiting / diarrhea / nausea
  • Cold flashes / chills / goose bumps
  • Sweating
  • Panic attacks

If you or a loved one is suffering from an addiction to Vicodin, detox is critical. Vicodin users will often increase their dosage in order to achieve the results they are looking for. This places them at a high risk of suffering an overdose. Vicodin overdose can cause a number of potentially life-threatening health problems including:

  • Kidney problems
  • Liver failure
  • Low blood pressure
  • Coma
  • Shallow breathing

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.
