Vicodin is one of the more common opiate painkillers prescribed for both chronic and acute pain.

Due to the increased practice of prescribing Vicodin for even minor pain, Vicodin addiction has increased over the past decade. With this increase in opiate addiction has come an increased need for Vicodin addiction treatment.

At Michael’s House, you can find the Vicodin addiction treatment you need through our residential Vicodin rehab and detox. If you would like more information about our Vicodin rehab program, contact us today at 1-877-345-8494.

The Options

A Vicodin addiction treatment can mean one of a few different options:

  • A “cold turkey” detox with no help from medication or medical professionals
  • An ongoing outpatient, medical Vicodin addiction treatment requiring daily visits, meetings, groups and therapy
  • An outpatient Vicodin addiction treatment
  • A residential, inpatient Vicodin addiction treatment

Finding the right Vicodin addiction help for you and your situation starts with taking a moment to explore your options and understand what is available to you.

Cold Turkey Opiate Detox

The most obvious Vicodin addiction help option is the at-home, “cold turkey” detox, which isn’t much of a treatment at all. For this option, you simply stop taking the drug and hope for the best. Unfortunately, a cold-turkey detox off of a prescription opiate like Vicodin will almost always result in intense and overwhelming physical withdrawal symptoms.
These may include nausea and vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramping, cold sweats, insomnia and a restlessness that can drive you crazy. There may also be even more severe symptoms like seizure, heart attack or heart failure, coma and even death if there are co-occurring medical conditions and no medical assistance is available.

Opiate Maintenance

The opiate maintenance Vicodin addiction treatment option is an outpatient medical treatment that provides you with a prescription to help you fight off the withdrawal symptoms when you quit taking Vicodin completely. You will be addicted to the drug, whether it’s methadone or buprenorphine, but it is easier to do a slow and controlled opiate detox over time using this method.

Addiction Treatment

An outpatient Vicodin addiction treatment program may or may not provide medical maintenance like the option described above, but it will require that you are stabilized physically and off of Vicodin when you begin the program. You will be allowed to go home each night, but you will also be required to come into the treatment center every day for support groups, one on one therapy sessions, educational classes, random drug testing and more.
