If your teen is addicted to Vicodin, help is available. Michael’s House can help those over the age of 18 to break free from prescription painkiller addiction with a Vicodin detox and addiction treatment program designed especially for young adults. Contact us today for more information.

Why Is It a Problem?
For those under the age of 21, prescription drugs left lying around the medicine cabinet are easier to obtain than alcohol. Since the regulation of over the counter cold medication, a recent drug of choice for teens, those interested in experimenting with their friends have been looking a little closer to home. Kids take the drugs they find to school, share them with friends and use them at parties as well as mix them with alcohol. Because they have no tolerance for the drugs, they are at high risk of overdose and at risk of getting into accidents when they drive under the influence. Addiction develops quickly for those who use opiate painkillers and when that happens, a Vicodin detox and rehab is necessary.
Does Your Teenager Need Help?
For parents concerned about their teen’s safety and health, Vicodin addiction is a scary issue. Opiate addiction can come on quickly after only a short period of regular use. What started as experimentation or social use will soon turn into a full blown addiction for some with regular Vicodin use. If you are concerned about your teen’s use of prescription drugs, talk to him or her about it. A one-time use isn’t reason to send your child to Vicodin rehab, but if you find that your teen is using Vicodin every day and experiencing mood swings as a result, lying about his or her drug use and becoming belligerent when questioned, then it may be an issue that requires teen Vicodin addiction treatment.
Treatment Options
In most cases an inpatient Vicodin rehab is recommended. This allows your teen to put distance between themselves and the friends that they use with as well as focus on their own health and wellbeing. Comprehensive treatment for both the physical and psychological dependence upon Vicodin will allow your teen to build a solid foundation in recovery.
