If you are desperately trying to quit drugs and make it through some tough hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms then you might need drug rehab in order to help you recover.
No one gets clean and sober and starts a new life by simply wishing that things were different. If you want everything to change then you have to change everything.
This is a monumental task and therefore it takes a tremendous effort. But luckily it is fairly easy to start the process and that is to simply go to drug rehab.
Withdrawal symptoms of hydrocodone

If you are addicted to the prescription medication hydrocodone these are some of the withdrawal symptoms you will have to deal with if you stop using hydrocodone. It is best to go to rehab for help with your withdrawal because they can be very uncomfortable and in rehab you can be treated medically. If you can not afford going to drug treatment then the only other option is to go hydrocodone cold turkey.
How to find the right drug rehab to beat hydrocodone addiction
Call around to local treatment centers and determine your options. If the first one cannot help you then they can probably direct you to those who can. Ask about funding and what you have to do to pay for rehab. If you can not afford rehab you may be able to find a state or government funded drug rehab.
If they cannot get you funded then they will hopefully direct you to somewhere that can get you treatment somehow. Usually if you are persistent then you can find a workable solution and get in somewhere.
Persistence is key. Be willing to sacrifice and do whatever it takes because the potential payoff is huge. If you can stay clean and sober then your whole life will change.
Like I said it is really quite easy to get started in recovery but it is very difficult to accumulate meaningful clean time in the long run. All you have to do is to check into rehab and you will get a few weeks clean without any real effort. It is easy to stay clean in rehab--the real test begins when you walk out the door and are free to make your own choices again.
Knowing this should help show you where to place your effort in recovery. You need to focus on daily action and how you are going to stay clean and sober after leaving treatment.
Being in rehab itself is not going to help you much after you leave. The stuff you learn in treatment will not necessarily help you much either. The knowledge applied is the only thing that helps.
In other words, you have to apply what you learn in treatment. The knowledge itself is pretty useless as it is all about action in recovery. If you don't take continuous action in recovery then you will relapse.
You not only need to take action but you actually need to take continuous, massive action. Don't just push yourself to recover but do so in a big and consistent way. This is the extreme level of effort that is needed in order to insure success in sobriety.
If you have been to rehab in the past and have found that you tend to be prone to opiate relapse then maybe you should consider going to long term drug rehab. I actually went to long term treatment and let me just say that it saved my life I stayed for the full two years that was offered. While there I attended counseling once per week and 12 step meetings daily. I also went back to school and graduated college. I say this because once we get clean and sober we can do anything we want the sky is the limit so why not stop using opiates now before things get worse after all addiction is progressive and fatal!
Good luck
