In its chronic form, pain negatively affects mood, health and quality of life. More than one-third of Americans live with chronic or recurrent pain and a significant percentage do not receive pain relief due to the intolerable adverse side effects of drugs, development of tolerance or individualized variables leading to the inefficacy of pharmacological treatments.1
An opiate drug, hydrocodone is in the same family as morphine and oxycodone. It is incredibly common for such drugs to lead to heroin abuse and addiction as well. People in this position may end up in a hydrocodone addiction treatment center in TX. There are several hydrocodone variants available in the U.S., some of which also contain acetaminophen. Zohydro ER and Hysingla ER are extended-release hydrocodone used for 24/7 treatment of severe pain.
Like many other opioid substances, hydrocodone has a high potential for physical dependence and addiction if it is abused. It is prescribed for the management of pain not well-controlled by nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory or other non-narcotic analgesic options. The number of prescriptions for opioids (like hydrocodone and oxycodone products) has escalated from around 76 million in 1991 to nearly 207 million in 2013, with the U.S. responsible for nearly 100% of the world consumption of hydrocodone. The recent introduction of extended-release formulations of hydrocodone has fueled controversy about the general safety and need for opioid medications in light of their potential for misuse, abuse, diversion, and addiction.1,2
Although opioid dependence is not synonymous with the highly dysfunctional, uncontrolled pattern of substance intake characterizing addiction to other drugs, it can be highly deadly. People addicted to hydrocodone can experience acute withdrawal symptoms requiring help from a hydrocodone addiction treatment centers in TX. For severe opioid addiction, supervised medical detox program is typically required to gradually and safely rid the body of residual drugs. Medications used to ease withdrawal include buprenorphine, naltrexone and a combination of both called Suboxone. After detox, a range of behavioral therapies at inpatient drug rehab in Texas can help individuals regain control of their lives while incorporating less addictive pain management solutions.3
All opioid-based drugs and medications have the ability to produce changes in human brain chemistry. Therefore, a hydrocodone addiction treatment center in TX must deal with all aspects of physical dependence and addiction, especially in individuals who receive no medical oversight from a prescribing physician.2 Potential signs of a hydrocodone addiction include:
Even after successful hydrocodone addiction treatment, few opioid users are able to maintain continuous abstinence during the first year of recovery. The first two weeks after the end of treatment are associated with the highest incidence of overdose, because tolerance is low and new patterns of healthy behavior have not been established. Low doses of the same medications used in detox have shown some benefit, as well as therapy programs that help individuals in preventing relapse and overdose after they return home. These include naltrexone, often in a long-acting injectable formulation called Vivitrol, along withbuprenorphine and Suboxone, a combination of buprenorphine and naltrexone. Another option is a small implant called Probuphine, which is placed under the skin and continuously releases buprenorphine for six months at a time.9
