Here is a preview of the withdrawal symptoms of hydrocodone one can expect if they have been using this prescription medication for and extended period of time. Some people claim that they are comparable to heroin withdrawal but I am not quite sure I would go there far being that I am a recovering addiction myself and have personally went through withdrawal from both on separate occasions.

Using opiate treatment to recovery from substance abuse addiction
If you are struggling with snorting hydrocodone then you might need opiate treatment in order to help you stop hydrocodone. The key to overcoming any addiction is to take real action in solving the problem.
Sometimes people can fall into the trap of thinking that genuinely wishing things were different will actually change anything. In fact this sort of thinking will only make a drug problem worse and the only thing that will ultimately help an addict is to take drastic action and do something about their problem.

Options to rehab could be attending 12 step meetings
Now one of the biggest steps that a person can take is to go into a drug treatment center. There are some alternatives to this of course, as someone could instead just try going to a few 12 step meetings for example.
But that is not generally going to have as big of an impact as going into rehab will have. In fact, when you check into treatment you will probably end up going to some 12 step meetings anyway. But you will get a lot more help than just this as the benefits to going to an inpatient drug rehab are a lot greater than simple exposure to 12 step meetings.
Consider the fact that you are being removed from the environment in which you used drugs to make it through your withdrawal from hydrocodone. This alone is a huge factor that many people underestimate. When you check into rehab for several days you get a clean break from the temptations of using drugs, and you also get a clean break away from some of the people who may have had some influence on your drug intake. Getting this clean break is essential in getting started on your recovery.
Now the whole key to doing well in drug treatment is to take massive amounts of action. If they suggest that you do something then you do it twice. If they suggest that you do to a meeting each day then you should probably go to 2 each day.
If they suggest that you get a sponsor in recovery then you should probably get a sponsor and call them every day and pick their brain to the fullest. If they suggest that you read some literature then you should probably read everything that you can get your hands on. Get the idea? Those who do well in recovery are the people who go really big in taking action.
If you want to make a tiny bit of progress in your life and then relapse, then simply take a moderate amount of action. Do a little for your recovery. This produces poor results without fail.
If you want to stay sober, then you need to go big.
Good luck
