If you have come the decision that you have an addiction, the next thing that you should ask is, what are you going to do about it? You most likely have tried many different tactics such as, cutting down on the amount that you use, or using only on particular days. You may have tried switching to another substance have gone for extended periods of times without getting high. But then eventually the addiction came back. Some sort of negative consequence may be hanging over your head like a hearing for DUI or spouses leaving you until you get some help.

Whatever your own personal reasons that make you get to this point or not, something usually is happening to your life that gives you the push that takes you off the edge. This is what’s commonly called hitting the bottom. The only real question is how much of the bottom can you take. Hitting the bottom means coming to the conclusion that you are sick and tired of being sick and tired, or you are not getting the same enjoyment from the drugs as you used to. You are only eliminating those uncomfortable feeling. You don’t feel as good anymore when you’re getting high but you feel worse when you’re not getting high. If you’re using hydrocodone or any other sort of opiate drugs, you have the additional discomfort of the hydrocodone addiction withdrawal symptoms when you quit using.

Unfortunately many people will stay in a situation for a very long time and an addict’s disease brain can talk them into almost anything. If you feel you have no choice but to continue using you most likely to hide behind the denial. An addict will find justification to keep using and block out the painful awareness that the addiction is showing them.

So to me in the end the best way to treat a hydrocodone addiction , or any other addiction is to not use. That is if you haven’t had enough. If you haven’t had enough then there is a life of misery out there waiting for you. The choice in the end is up to you.

It has been reported that AAROD has greater success than your typical drug detoxification treatments. The hydrocodone addict’s symptoms are greatly lessened because he or she is put to sleep for most of the withdrawal periods being stabilized the whole time. Most of the time the hospital stay is much shorter than regular drug detox, enabling the patient to return home to family and work as soon as possible. You can read more about the actual procedure here drug detox and AAROD.

My thoughts on this kind of drug detox are that the addict must be very careful upon release from treatment. After the the drug addict is released it is a very dangerous time. Being spared a lot of the pain from the withdraws, the vicodin or oxicotin addict might feel that he or she is ok, and does not see the need to continue a aftercare treatment. This kind of thinking will get a addict high again, and back to the point before they started Anesthesia Assisted Opiate Detoxification. I have had 2 people I know go through this type of detox with great success, but both fell into the pattern I just explained.

If you are a friend or family member of someone about to go through this type of treatment, be sure to have a good post detox plan. The doctor performing the procedure can recommend a local rehabilitation program in your area the can handle aftercare for the addict. The best result will most likely occur if the hydrocodone addict is put immediately placed in a drug treatment center. Otherwise the cycle will start all over again.
