Healing after Vicodin addiction starts when you stop taking your Vicodin prescription. Because Vicodin is an opiate prescription painkiller, it is not advised that you attempt to do this at home. Vicodin addiction is a medical condition and requires a medical treatment in order for you to heal properly and safely. A Vicodin detox is the only way to be confident that you will not only be successful in “kicking” your addiction but that you will also do so healthfully without risk of relapse or deadly complications.

Michael’s House offers a Vicodin detox program as part of our Vicodin rehab. Followed by Vicodin addiction treatment, our Vicodin detox is safe and effective, providing you with a good start in a new life without prescription drug addiction.

Vicodin Detox: Keep Yourself Safe

There are a number of dangers that you take on when you choose Vicodin detox. Vicodin overdose is one of those risks: If you stop using the drug for a few days and then relapse, your body readjusts its tolerance during your off-time. Should you relapse and take the same amount of Vicodin as you are used to, you may end up taking too much. Overdosing as a result of relapse is a common result of choosing Vicodin detox outside of a medical facility.

Another concern is medical complications. Though you may have had the support of the physician who prescribed you Vicodin in the first place, most people don’t follow up with regular checkups while they are actively in their addiction. As a result, underlying medical conditions can arise unnoticed. When you try to stop taking Vicodin, the withdrawal symptoms can cause complications for these underlying medical issues and the result, depending upon the illness, can be deadly.

Vicodin Detox: Choosing Effective Treatment

Going through a Vicodin detox once is hard enough. You want to make sure that that Vicodin detox program that you choose is really going to work for you and that you won’t find yourself relapsing within a year and in need of yet another Vicodin detox as a result. The best way to ensure the continued success of your Vicodin detox is to follow it up with Vicodin addiction treatment.

Long-term, residential Vicodin addiction rehab is recommended. It is at an all-inclusive, holistic treatment program that you will learn how to fight your psychological and emotional dependence upon the drug and gain the coping skills you will call upon again and again in recovery to defend against temptation and relapse. Without this treatment, you have only dealt with the physical addiction to Vicodin. While you are no longer physically ill, your treatment is far from over.

Aftercare services are another component of effective Vicodin detox and addiction treatment. By following up with what you learned in Vicodin addiction treatment after you return home, you have the opportunity to improve your Vicodin recovery with the “trial by fire” method. As you begin to reintegrate into work-life, family-life and develop a social life that isn’t based on addiction, you will have good times and bad. Continued aftercare services makes sure that you don’t forget your coping skills and make it through the bad times and celebrate the good times without Vicodin and other drugs.
