Vicodin Detox & Addiction

Vicodin Addiction / Vicodin Dependency

Vicodin addiction destroys healthy lives.

Is it destroying yours, or that of someone you love? Thousands of our patients started out taking Vicodin for pain management and ended up instead with an addiction to Vicodin.

Opiate dependency affects people from all walks of life, regardless of their social or economic status. Others like yourself—not just high-profile celebrities—have developed an opiate or Vicodin dependency.

Many now seek detoxification from addiction to these opiate-based drugs.

The brand name drug Vicodin® -- like many others--combines acetaminophen (Tylenol®) and hydrocodone. This creates a morphine-like narcotic analgesic. Acetaminophen blocks agents that cause bodily pain. Hydrocodone deadens the brain’s sensation of pain. Chronic consumption of Vicodin over months may cause a Vicodin addiction, even though your physician initially prescribed it to moderate mid to severe pain.

Remember, Vicodin is an opiate drug—made from the same chemical base as heroin!

Dependency starts with an accidental injury or debilitating disease that requires surgery or treatment followed by pain medication. It ends with an excruciating dependency on the medicine intended to help relieve the pain. Prescription Vicodin has fast become the addicted patient’s drug of choice due to its potency and easy availability.

Many doctors find the question of painkiller addition too awkward to talk about with patients—even if they suspect non-medical use or abuse.


Waismann listens, and acts. Individuals with a Vicodin addiction who muster the courage to follow a rapid-detox program can break out of the prison caused by their overuse.

Many or our patients started out treating their head, neck, back, migraine, or other musculoskeletal pain at normal medication doses. Eventually, they began self-medicating at high levels to avoid the pain of withdrawal.

People with Vicodin dependency may not always engage in the same behavior as ‘drug addicts. But they do experience the same symptoms of withdrawal:

  • Aching limbs
  • Cascading body aches
  • Cold sweats
  • Distress, anxiety, and panic
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Severe depression
  • Unbearable pain
  • Uncontrollable diarrhea

Vicodin dependency has turned many back surgery and chronic pain patients into ‘accidental addicts’. They did not plan to pursue addiction, but instead gradually ended up with a physical dependency to Vicodin®. Just as dependency can happen with any other narcotic prescription medication.

Other addictive prescription painkillers include Anexsia®, Anolor DH5, Bancap HC, Darvocet®, Dolacet, Dolorex Forte, Hycet, Hycodan®, Hycomine®, Hydro, Liquicet, Lorazapam®, Lorcet®, Lortab®, Maxidone, Norco®, OxyContin®, Percocet®, Stagesic, T-Gesic, Tramacet, Tramadol®, Tussionex®, Tylox®, Vadunk, Vicoprofen®, Xodol, and Zydone®, among others.

Our base of international clients know that the Waismann Method of rapid detoxification provides a humane treatment to individuals physically dependent on Vicodin® and on other opiate drugs.
