Hydrocodone popularly sold as Vicodin is a widely prescribed pain reliever. It is a synthetic opiate form of Codein and is branded as a painkiller. This drug combines hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone can be very effective, but it can also become habit-forming. Individuals that start out taking hydrocodone as treatment for pain take it to get a euphoric feeling instead. As a result, they use it for longer than recommended, or use more than their doctor prescribed. Using hydrocodone for a long time can build tolerance which could result in the body needing more drugs to feel the same effect.

Recovery for addiction to Vicodin could last up to 4 months and begins with detox which is conducted in a home-like environment under round the clock observation. Detox in this case could result in sweats, chills, upset stomach, and anxiety tremors but can be efficiently managed at our in-patient treatment program. Pharmacotherapy is used to switch to another non-addictive medication for long-term users. Post-Detox treatment includes Individual and Group Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, 12 Step Program as per WHO, Development of Life Skills, Vocational, Educational Programs, Yoga, Meditation, Audio-Video Inputs and Family Support Programs.
