What is Vicodin?

Vicodin is a brand name for the drug hydrocodone. It’s an opioid-type pain reliever that’s typically prescribed to treat severe pain, such as the pain you might have after surgery. Some doctors prescribe it to treat chronic pain conditions. Vicodin works in the brain to change the way the body processes pain. It can create feelings of well-being or euphoria, which can become addictive to those who take it. In 2014, the Drug Enforcement Agency reclassified the medication to Schedule II, making it harder to get. Despite this, use and abuse of Vicodin are still common.

Is Vicodin Addictive?

Yes, Vicodin has highly addictive properties. Opioids like Vicodin are meant to be taken as prescribed. Most people use them for short periods of time to manage their pain. However, those who like the feeling that the medication creates may begin to misuse their medication. They may take more than the recommended amount or continue to take the medication long after the pain is gone. Soon, they are addicted. Young people are particularly susceptible to Vicodin abuse. The medication may be easily available in the home, and there’s a perception that prescription pills are “safer” than street drugs. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Vicodin can cause death when not taken as prescribed or when taken with other medications.

Is Vicodin a Gateway Drug?

As an opioid, Vicodin has a similar effect as heroin. Unfortunately, those who are addicted to Vicodin may struggle with withdrawal when their doctor refuses to prescribe additional pills. Desperate, these people may turn to street drugs like heroin despite the significant increase in risk. Therefore, it’s so important for people to get addiction treatment from a reputable treatment center like Pathways Real Life Recovery.
