Vicodin Rehab

Vicodin addiction is a serious medical condition that afflicts millions of Americans at one point or another in their lives. Handling addictive behavior before it becomes life threatening is crucial and with opiate based prescription drugs like Vicodin, this means a complete detoxification and withdrawal under the supervision of medical personnel.

What is Vicodin Rehab?

The term Vicodin rehab refers to any drug addiction treatment that specifically addresses the characteristics of addiction to an opioid prescription painkiller like Vicodin. This means inpatient long-term residential facilities, inpatient short-term drug addiction treatment centers, outpatient treatments, methadone maintenance clinics, day treatments and unique drug rehabilitation like the Meditox Method.

If you are addicted to Vicodin and are ready to become free of chemical dependency, it is time to consider the Meditox Method. Our program is exclusively tailored to the high functioning, highly motivated individual and allows you to continue working or attending school while becoming drug free.

Why is Vicodin Rehab Necessary?

Some form of supervised detoxification and withdrawal rehab treatment is necessary with an addiction to opiate based prescription drugs like Vicodin. When Vicodin is used on a regular basis, over a prolonged period of time and in ever-increasing doses, the chemical makeup of the brain is eventually changed in ways that are fundamental and long-lasting. This means that Vicodin takes over the areas of the brain devoted to pleasure and motivational responses. Drug use is then assigned the highest priority in the levels of motivational importance and takes over all other drives. Consequently, it is next to impossible for someone to just quit successfully on his or her own.

Meditox Vicodin Rehab

At Meditox, our focus is on helping you achieve abstinence. A difficult process, detoxification and recovery is often made more difficult when one is sequestered away from the support of family and friends at a residential treatment center. This is why Meditox is proud to offer outpatient treatment services that provide you with the rehabilitation you need and allow you to maintain your relationships, place in the community and presence at work while you detox off of Vicodin.

How Do I Start?

There is one in-person obligation to begin your treatment with Meditox. Choose one of our locations that is nearest to you and make an appointment. You need only give up a single afternoon with one of our Meditox doctors. At that appointment, you will receive a prescription for buprenorphine in the form of Subutex, a pure form of buprenorphine, or Suboxone, a combination of buprenorphine and naloxone, another agonist blocker. You will also create a treatment plan with the help of your Meditox physician. Depending upon your individual circumstance, you could return home prepared to be completely free of your Vicodin addiction within six weeks.
