Do You Need Hydrocodone Addiction Treatment?

Hydrocodone is a strong semi-synthetic opiate that is often prescribed to alleviate temporary pain, such as during the recovery time after surgery. Even if you attempt to closely follow your hydrocodone prescription, it is possible to become addicted to it. The substance is capable of causing a chemical dependency as well as a behavioral addiction, so it can be twice as difficult to challenge an addiction as when compared to many other substances.

Addiction can manifest as:

  • Heightened tolerance, causing you to need greater amounts of hydrocodone to achieve the same effect
  • Unpleasant physical and psychological symptoms when attempting to stop using hydrocodone
  • Intense urges to use hydrocodone, even when aware of the risks
  • Neglecting responsibilities, such as work, family, and other important aspects of life
  • Engaging in risky or illegal behaviors to obtain hydrocodone, such as theft or drug-related crimes

In the short-term, hydrocodone abuse can cause dizziness, appetite loss, gastrointestinal distress, and lightheadedness. But long-term abuse or large doses of hydrocodone can cause much more hazardous health consequences, such as:

  • Vomiting or inability to keep food down
  • Respiratory weakness
  • Seizures
  • Heart failure
  • Kidney disease
  • Liver damage
  • Severe anxiety and paranoia
  • Depression

These symptoms and side effects can be life-threatening and require emergency medical intervention.

The duration of hydrocodone rehab varies depending on individual needs and treatment goals. Typically, outpatient programs can last for several months, and our program specifically lasts four months from start to finish. We’ll conduct a thorough assessment of your needs when you can so we can plan a treatment duration based on the level of care you need.
