Hydrocodone Detox

Prescription medications containing hydrocodone can be habit forming, leading to the need for detox. Hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opiate (narcotic) used for pain relief and as a cough suppressant, available in capsules, tablets and in liquid form. It’s usually used in combination with other ingredients such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen. Prescription drugs containing hydrocodone include Vicodin, Lorcet, Lortab, Norco, Tussionex and Vicoprofen.

The Waismann Method of Rapid Detox

The addiction creeps up quickly and once you have a Hydrocodone addiction, chances are it’s too late to find an easy solution to get off Hydrocodone.

Taking hydrocodone for an extended period of time or abusing it in any way can lead to the development of a tolerance. This is when the drug builds up in a person’s system and they need to take escalating doses to achieve the same effect. Patients who increase their dosage of hydrocodone without talking to a doctor can develop a physical and/or psychological dependence on it. This results in the need for detox, which can be achieved medically or when patients stop using the drug altogether. When the body is being ridded of an opiate dependence, it experiences certain withdrawal symptoms, which are known to be quite uncomfortable.

Other Treatment Options for Hydrocodone Dependence

Some facilities treat opiate dependence by administering other opiates. This is known as opiate replacement therapy and is typically accomplished with methadone, Suboxone or Subutex. This can be effective for some people but is a long-term fix to a problem that has probably lingered on for long enough. People may find they need to be on replacement medications for a while. They may also need a second detox if they become dependent upon the replacements.
