Hydrocodone Abuse<\/h1>\n

\"HydrocodoneHydrocodone is generally safe when used for a short time, but can be habit-forming when used long-term or in ways other than prescribed by your doctor. When left untreated, hydrocodone abuse can lead to more serious problems such as dependence, addiction, and overdose. People who become dependent on hydrocodone can safely withdraw from this medication using professional medical detox or medication-assisted treatment, which is available at many drug rehab centers.<\/p>\n

What Is Hydrocodone?<\/h2>\n

Hydrocodone is an opioid medication commonly used to treat moderate to severe pain. This drug is also well-known under the brand name Vicodin \u2014 a hydrocodone combination product containing acetaminophen. Hydrocodone has been used in the U.S. for medical purposes since the 1920s and is roughly 6 times stronger than codeine.<\/p>\n

Why is Hydrocodone Addictive?<\/h2>\n

Hydrocodone and other opioids work by binding to opiate receptors in the body and brain to reduce the sensation of pain, but many times, these drugs also produce euphoria. Opioids tend to be habit-forming due to the way these drugs increase the brain\u2019s production of dopamine \u2014 a feel-good chemical involved in feelings of pleasure and happiness. People who misuse hydrocodone typically do so to continue experiencing euphoria, which puts them at risk for dependence and addiction.<\/p>\n
