Into Action Recovery Society - Surrey - Vicodin Addiction Recovery

Vicodin is a prescription medication that can be quite helpful in reducing moderate or severe physical pain. It is among the class of opioid medications that act as a central nervous system depressant, helping people feel more relaxed. Its made up of both hydrocodone, which is a synthetic opioid, as well as acetaminophen, a common pain reliever.

Though it is a helpful pain reliever, Vicodin has a downside in that its highly addictive. Taken as prescribed short-term, the likelihood of addiction isnt that high. However, those that take Vicodin long-term or abuse the drug for the desired effects have a higher chance of becoming dependent on or addicted.

The high rates of opioid addiction are no secret. The rate of addiction has been increasing steadily year after year. In fact, around 10.3 million people misused or abused opioids in 2018, according to the Substance Abuse And Mental Health Services Administration.
