Vicodin Addiction Treatment
Inappropriate or Potentially Dangerous Forms of Vicodin Addiction Treatment
There is no shortage of successful, reputable Vicodin addiction treatment clinics out there. But physicians from doctors published in the Journal of the American Medical Association to researchers in top think tanks have decried certain forms of Vicodin and opioid recovery as either inappropriate or less than ideal.
Most obviously, self detox from extreme Vicodin addiction is not recommended. After all, even if you're in stout health and you have friends or family by your side to see you through the harrowing first few days of withdrawal, you never know what bugbears in your personal medical history may suddenly present themselves and make treatment more messy. Moreover, if there is a problem, and you have to be rushed to the hospital, your treating physicians may lose valuable time trying to solicit information about your case from helpful but ultimately unknowledgeable supporters.
Another vicodin treatment approach probably to avoid is detox under anesthesia. This high profile methodology boasts some success, but it is typically very costly, and few if any major insurance carriers will support it.
Patients must spend significant time in the intensive care unit and be subjected to a series of additional drugs to detox the body and keep systems functioning under the anesthesia. Long-term studies about how these chemical cocktails may or may not radically alter neural chemical configurations have yet to conclude, but given the slate of attractive, relatively painless safe options, you may want to skip so-called rapid detox.
