Vicodin Addiction
Vicodin addiction is a common problem in America today. Prescribed by doctors, dentists and other health practitioners, Vicodin is well-known as the "painkiller of choice" for pain management after basic procedures. Unfortunately, the prolific prescription of Vicodin has led to pain pill addictions in all walks of life, leaving many in dire need of Vicodin treatment.
Vicodin Withdrawal
Without the assistance and support of a medical professional, Vicodin withdrawal can be overwhelming. Most who attempt it alone do not succeed but end up reverting to their previous use of the drug. In some cases, the abrupt cessation of Vicodin treatment at high dosages can lead to respiratory failure and death. The best way to break an opiate addiction is under a doctor's care with the right prescriptions to ease symptoms safely and slowly.
Vicodin Detox
Drugs like methadone and naloxone are used in conjunction with rehabilitation treatment to ease the Vicodin detox and slowly break the narcotic addiction with as little trauma to the body as possible. These drugs are still available but a new one called buprenorphine has been added. Buprenorphine allows those with Vicodin addiction issues to slowly break their dependency with a prescription that they can take home rather than through a daily visit to a clinic or enrollment in a drug treatment program.
Vicodin Treatment
For many years, those suffering from a painkiller addiction had few options for meaningful treatment, and virtually no alternatives that didn't require hospitalization or enrollment in an inpatient rehabilitation facility. A common Vicodin rehab may mean up to six months in a treatment center, however, those with a demanding career and active family life may find this next to impossible. At Meditox, we provide Vicodin treatment services through a specialized outpatient program that requires that you come to only one appointment.
The Meditox Method
Since buprenorphine was approved by the FDA and the US government for use as an outpatient detox drug, Meditox has trained its doctors in Subutex and Suboxalone dispensation, two drugs made of buprenorphine. In those who are dependent upon opiates, these drugs serve to curb their cravings and allow them to safely and comfortably detox from Vicodin. Subutex treatment is pure buprenorphine, while Suboxone treatment combines buprenorphine and naloxone to further protect against Vicodin abuse by blocking opioid receptors in the brain, which effectively decreases the 'high' brought on by additional opioid use.
With the Meditox Method, you can continue to enjoy an active lifestyle without putting it on hold for treatment. This social freedom makes recovery a positive thing, and allows you to learn to be drug-free in the context of your own life.
At Meditox, buprenorphine is just one part of our strategy to help patients end their Vicodin addictions once and for all. We work with you to find local doctors who can treat your chronic pain without narcotics. Also, a support team is on 24 hour standby to assist you with anything else you need.
