An addicted to opiates person can become functional with opiate rehab. A good rehab is absolutely the only way to kick an addiction like this one, If you are addicted to opiates like hydrocodone, your best bet is a physician supported program that begins with the first phase in a center where you are monitored for withdrawals and they can lessen some of them for you when you are in a medically managed rehab. The usual stay is anywhere from 7 to 30 days for a medically managed opiate detox. I think if you have a choice, go for the 30 day programs and continue in a support group once you are released.

Become Functional again-Opiate Rehab

The opiate rehab is probably the easiest part of any program. Once you have kicked the habit and done a detox, there is life long support in groups like AA and NA. By now you have probably had legal problems related to the addiction, on the verge of being homeless because what money that comes in goes to feed your habit. Physically you are unhealthy, and mentally as well from the drugs. Family and friends have gone because they can’t watch you ruin your life. The friends you have now are only there for the drugs, either to use them or sell them to you. Hardly a way to live when there is so much living to do so I strongly recomend that you get help in opiate rehab.

Once out of whatever program you use to learn how to detox, following up with after care and going to meetings is an important part of your new life. To stay on course you will need support groups, and there is usually one going on somewhere that you can find should you need one. Go more than once a day if you need to, that is what they are for. Get a sponsor and stay in contact with him or her as this is also part of the path to success. As you work the steps of your program, you will find your family and friends who you lost because of your drug use, may come back in to your life and be supportive of your efforts like a family and true friends should be. If the rift between you and your old friends is wide it may take lots of work on your part to prove to them you are no longer into drugs, but to get back what you had is usually worth the effort. This is the hardest part of recovery; getting back to where you were before the drug use began.
