In my opinion there are all kinds of ways to stop using vicodin. You can basically learn how to beat vicodin addiction just like you would any other type of drug. The same principal pretty much applies to them all drugs but there are variations here and there; for example, one must surrender to the fact that we can no longer use drugs or alcohol the way other people do. We must admit defeat that is we can no longer use successfully the way we used to in days gone by.

Once upon a time we enjoyed getting high and having fun but then things went sideways on us and our fun turned into the job of getting and finding ways and means to get more drugs and it did not matter how we went about it or who got in our way. We were basically at the “animal level” we survived and did things we said we would never do just as it talks about in the NA literature. We may have even tried snorting vicodin. We can all learn how to beat hydrocodone addiction.

How to beat vicodin addiction

There are ways how to overcome vicodin addiction and find a new way to live without drugs. One way to stop using vicodin is really pretty easy to do you simply taper yourself off of vicodin; for instance, try cutting your dose by 1 pill per day if that is too much for you try reducing it to ½ pill less per day. This should prevent any serious hydrocodone withdrawal.

If this does not work for you then I would suggest that you look into going to hydrocodone treatment. There you can be detoxed from vicodin by a staff of people trained in this area. This process normally will take 4 or 5 days depending on how much and how often you were using. More than likely they will use suboxone for this and you should experience very little pain during withdrawal. I have to suggest upon a successful detox that you go to residential treatment to further your chances of remaining clean when you leave rehab.
