How to beat vicodin addiction



The medical field has finally realized that many people have developed a Vicodin addiction. This type of addiction is just as serious as an addiction of illegal drugs. Many times a person who is addicted to any substance does not even realize they are addicted. They often feel that they need to medication for pain and nothing more. Unfortunately many people who are addicted to Vicodin or other prescription drugs will find that they are often unable to quit or in other words how to beat an addiction to vicodin on their own.

Getting through hydrocodone withdrawal

Prescription drug addictions are very easy for a person and their family to miss. Often times these people honestly believe they need the drug to reduce the pain they feel and when they suddenly reduce or stop using hydrocodone altogether they begin to experience vicodin withdrawal. These people will often go to great lengths to obtain more prescriptions for the drug.

Many will seek various medical professionals for the same symptoms just to receive more prescriptions. Addicts who are unable to obtain prescriptions will often seek other ways to get these drugs. This includes buying the pills on the street just like addicts of illegal drugs do. Many will resort to stealing and using family members as a source for money to support there drug habit.

Vicodin ES


People who are trying to break the addiction to Vicodin will experience the same withdrawal symptoms of alcoholics and other drug users. These withdrawal symptoms include extreme shaking, nausea, and other symptoms. They will also be very angry, or violent, at times. This is the reason that most people find they need medical help to overcome the addiction. There are many facilities that can help a person overcome this vice from their lives. Many find they need an inpatient facility; however, some are able to overcome the addiction with outpatient treatments.

An addict needs the support of family members and friends to help them overcome any type of habit caused by opiate addiction  People who have helped to aid in the addiction should be kept away from the patient during the recovery process. Many times a person will need to find another physician too. Many people relapse without the love and support of the people who are closest to them.

If you really want to stop vicodin I would strongly suggest going to some type of opiate treatment for help because I have personally used this method and if you go you can be medically detoxed.



In treatment you will gain the knowledge to help you overcome your addiction to drugs by attending 12 step meetings, drug addiction counseling, group therapy, and lectures. This will help you to gain the addiction recovery tools you will need when you leave rehab to stay clean and sober.
