AAROD is a pretty intense, but quick way to detox while skipping a lot of hydrocodone addiction withdrawal. This method detoxifies the body off most of the active opiates reportedly in under 6 hours or so. This procedure should only be done under the care of a skilled anesthesiologist working with nurses in a specialized treatment facility. Make sure your hospitail or treatment center has staff trained in Anesthesia Assisted Opiate Detoxification.

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.

Now to the family and love ones that are dealing with someone close to them that is suffering from a hydrocodone addiction. There is no best way to treat hydrocodone addiction I can share with you. All I can share is what worked best for me. When I was going through my years of drugs use, the best thing my family ever did for me was cut me out of their life. I know it sounds hard, and it was hard to deal with at the time, but it wasn’t until they removed the cushion from under my ass that I started to become open minded towards treatment. I made them come to a point where they decided if i was going to kill myself, they where not going to watch. My family loved me very much, but everything they did to help me was actually hurting me. It made it easier for me to continue using and helped me believe that I could one day get it together. I brought them to a point to where they wouldn’t even feed me and I’m glad they did. That ultimate loneliness helped me see the need for treatment.Sometimes the best hydrocodone addiction help is to not help at all I guess. Although I never regularly attended one of their meetings, Alanonhas helped a lot of my friends family members go through living with a addict. Click the link and give them a visit!
