For those who are seeking treatment for Vicodin addiction, there are a number of choices in Vicodin detox. As an opioid-based drug, Vicodin has similar chemical makeup to morphine and heroin, two other highly addictive opiates. A great deal of research and development has been done in the last 30 years toward finding effective drugs to treat opiate addiction and, as a result, Vicodin addicts can benefit from the treatments developed as a result of these discoveries.

At Michael’s House, you can take advantage of a number of different Vicodin detox options depending upon your particular circumstance. If you would like to learn more about how Michael’s House can help you detox off of Vicodin, call us at 1-877-345-8494.

Vicodin Detox Options: Natural Detox

The first and simplest Vicodin detox option is natural detox. Without medication of any kind but with round-the-clock medical care and monitoring, a natural detox is perhaps the quickest way to break free from Vicodin addiction completely. The philosophy behind natural detox is that the best way to rid the body of toxin buildup that occurred during drug addiction is not to add more toxins in the form of treatment medications. Rather, a complete flush based on healthy eating, rest and gentle exercise as well as counseling and support are the best way to quit using Vicodin most healthfully.

Vicodin Detox Options: Medicated Detox

Because the withdrawal symptoms associated with Vicodin detox are often intense for those at high doses, medicated detox is preferred. A medicated detox offers you the option of taking medications to treat specific withdrawal symptoms. For example, if you stop taking Vicodin and you are unable to sleep as a result, you may be given a short-term, non-addictive sleeping medication to aid you. For nausea, bone and/ or muscle pain, and other symptoms associated with Vicodin detox, you can also take medications directed at fighting these specific ailments and thus ease your physical discomfort during Vicodin detox.

Vicodin Detox Options: Maintenance Programs

Maintenance programs offer those addicted to Vicodin the option of “replacing” their Vicodin prescription with a less damaging prescription that is easier to stop using slowly over time. Milligram by milligram, in some cases, you can ease yourself off these drugs and avoid the bulk of withdrawal symptoms associated with Vicodin detox.

Maintenance programs are another option available to some Vicodin addicts. Whether or not you are eligible will be determined by the amount of Vicodin you are taking when you quit and any other drugs that you are taking at the same time. Two of the most common maintenance opiate detox drugs are methadone and Suboxone. Both of these are available on an outpatient basis, so if you begin taking them during an inpatient Vicodin addiction treatment program, you can easily continue them when you return home.
