THE FACTS OF VICODIN ADDICTION

While most claim that alcoholism and addiction result from innumerable factors, we, here at Passages Addiction Cure Center, are here to tell you that there are only four causes of all dependency. And these causes do not include genetics, and neither is addiction a disease. The four causes of all dependency are:

1. Chemical imbalance in the brain;
2. Unresolved events from the past;
3. Beliefs you hold that are inconsistent with what is true;
4. An inability to cope with current conditions.

We do not claim that addiction is a result of genetics because millions e not addicted to substances of any kind. Additionally, addiction is not a disease over which you have no control, because it is actually a symptom that arises due to one of the four causes above. Once these causes have been discovered and healed, dependency is cured.

Often, when Vicodin is taken for longer periods of time than is recommended by our doctors, we can develop psychological dependence in addition to physical dependence. A "Psychic need" is the perceived need to use a substance to cope with unpleasant feelings such as despondency, heartache, anxiety, stress, or depression. So although many people are initially prescribed Vicodin to manage physical pain, these people might become dependent on the drug as a psychological coping mechanism.

When we stop using the addictive drug, in this case Vicodin, which we've been using to cope with unpleasant feelings, those feelings return, as does the strong desire to return to the substances that enabled us to cope with them.

Vicodin is a prescription pain medication that combines the narcotic analgesic (painkiller), hydrocodone with the non-narcotic analgesic, acetaminophen (Tylenol). It's used for mild to moderate pain relief, and the presence of acetaminophen deters many drug users from taking excessive amounts of Vicodin, because exceedingly large doses of acetaminophen can cause liver damage.

Common side effects can include drowsiness, euphoria, seizures, clammy skin, weakness, dizziness, unconsciousness, hyperventilation, fatigue, bleeding/bruising, nausea, decreased sex drive, among others. Also, because Vicodin is a central nervous system depressant, your pulse may also slow. Vicodin overdose can be fatal and symptoms of overdose include slowed breathing, clammy skin, dizziness, constricted pupils, weakness, unconsciousness, confusion, coma, fatigue, nausea, and excessive sweating.

HEALING THE UNDERLYING PROBLEMS OF YOUR ADDICTION

Mending the harm caused by continual Vicodin abuse can be a difficult process, necessitating a comprehensive, holistic approach to physical, psychological, and spiritual treatment.

Maybe nothing else has worked for you. No doctor, therapist, treatment center, addiction specialist, parent, spouse, sibling, or friend has provided you with a remedy for your problems or your pain, but you've found a remedy, and it works. That's the problem with addictive drugs and alcohol they work. They may work only temporarily, and they have terrible, even fatal side effects, but they work.

They provide release from the pain, physical or psychological, that drives you to use and abuse addictive substances. At Passages, we have never found this to be untrue. Underneath every person's dependency, there is always pain. Discovering this pain and healing it is the most fundamental step towards curing you of your dependency.

Our patients succeed because, with our guidance, they become willing to look deeply into their past, into the recesses of their minds, and into the reasons they were abusing Vicodin. In the case of Vicodin and other prescription drugs, we found physical ailments that were the direct causes of their dependency, and when those areas were healed, their dependence ended.

VICODIN ADDICTION IS NOT A DISEASE, IT'S A SYMPTOM OF THE UNDERLYING CAUSE

Here at Passages Malibu, we endeavor to discover the pain that drives you to use and abuse Vicodin, because we know that dependency is no more and no less than your effort to cope with life. We recognize that you'vve used substances to try to regain your lost balance, to try to feel the way you did before the need arose to use Vicodin, or any addictive substance for that matter.

This replaces the theory that Vicodin addiction, or any dependency on addictive substances for that matter, is a disease. However, most drug treatment centers still hold this myth to be true. They'll tell you that you have an incurable disease, one that you'll have looming over you for the rest of your life. They are still treating alcoholism and addiction as if they are the problems; they are not the problems, they are only symptoms of the real problems. One of the most difficult jobs we have at Passages is to help our clients unlearn everything they have been told at other drug treatment centers.

You may be wondering, Well if addiction isn't a disease, then what is it? The short answer is that addiction is a name we have given to the state in which we find ourselves when we have abused addictive substances, such as Vicodin for long enough that we have created a dependency on them. We know that we should discontinue use of drugs or alcohol, but we can't do so without help.

And here at Passages, we help you to understand that the first step towards freedom from dependency is realizing that Vicodin addiction is not a disease; it's a symptom of the underlying cause that has led you to use and abuse. You were using Vicodin to cope with some physical, psychological, or spiritual pain that has yet to be resolved. These problems are at the root of your dependency, and these problems are the ones that must be healed in order for you to be cured of dependency, to finally be completely and permanently sober. We invite you to read more about our fAounders' methodology in Chris Prentiss's breakthrough new book, The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure.
