Passages treats prescription drug dependency such as Vicodin addiction. There are four basic causes of Vicodin dependency:

1. Imbalances in neurochemistry.
2. Pain, trauma and heartbreak from the past.
3. Untrue beliefs about oneself or the world.
4. Problems coping with current conditions.

At Passages, genetics is not an attributable factor for addiction. As a result, genetics is not a definitive cause of Vicodin addiction. Some people who have family histories of chemical dependency never develop any form of addiction. Alternatively, some people struggle with addiction to drugs like Vicodin that do not have any chemically dependent relative. Addiction is a symptom of the underlying physical and emotional pain that needs healing. Every client partners with medical, mental health and addiction professionals to seek out and resolve the root causes of Vicodin addiction. Once patients uncover and resolve these core issues through personalized treatment, Vicodin addiction can resolve as well.

One of the most commonly abused prescription painkillers, Vicodin is a codeine derivative that offers relief for mild to moderate pain. As an opiate, Vicodin can be incredibly addictive and have serious consequences. Though doctors write many Vicodin prescriptions for valid physical pain, addiction quickly develops as brain chemistry alters. Patients begin to rely on Vicodin for emotional or psychological relief long after physical pain ends.

Vicodin addiction causes a host of physical and psychological problems as tolerance builds and dosage and frequency of use increases. Even acetaminophen (Tylenol) found on Vicodin and case liver damage from chronic and intense use. The side effects of Vicodin also include lethargy, dizziness, fatigue and mental confusion. Other signs of Vicodin use include clammy skin, profuse sweating, muscular weakness, lowered libido and small pupils. Physically, Vicodin addiction can cause serious conditions such as seizures, respiratory depression, slowed pulse, hyperventilation, easy bleeding and bruising, nausea, unconsciousness and even coma.

Psychological addiction can occur when a person takes Vicodin for an extended period. As an opiate, Vicodin does not just relieve pain. Vicodin provides an enhanced sense of well being and stimulates euphoric feelings. Sometimes, users realize that Vicodin helps escape unresolved psychological or emotional issues, including grief, heartbreak, anxiety, depression or stress. Whenever those feelings kick in again, the user turns to Vicodin. The brain rewires then by creating a psychological connection between use and emotional relief. In the short run, Vicodin may provide a mental vacation from these painful and real feelings. Because users self-medicate emotional pain with Vicodin, the need to resume use continues once the temporary "high" leaves.

When the body detoxifies from Vicodin, the user can address the emotional and psychological issues that triggered Vicodin use. Unless the user identifies and resolves the deeper psychological or emotional pain, the temptation to self medicate with Vicodin, alcohol or other drugs will persist.

 

HEALING THE UNDERLYING PROBLEMS OF ADDICTION

Years of Vicodin addiction create a sense of hopelessness for any individual. Some people never find the strength to reach out for Vicodin addiction treatment before. Some people tried drug addiction rehab only to find that there is a cycle of perpetual relapse and addiction again. Before Passages, countless individuals had experienced this sense of hopelessness and cycle of shame first-hand. Passages is where the cycle ends. Passages can help anyone overcome a Vicodin addiction.

Some people feel this sense of powerlessness against addiction. Some individuals try an endless string of therapists, addiction counselors, drug treatment centers and doctors to no avail. Maybe even the best intentions of parents, spouse, siblings and friends still cannot seem to reach the pain causing addiction. Some other treatment centers call addiction an "incurable disease" or a condition a person can never fully overcome.

At Passages, the addiction experts believe clients can heal from Vicodin addictions, once and for all. The cycle of physical addiction breeds a deep sense of hopelessness, but clients are people and people are more than addictions. Addiction is a symptom of an underlying problem within that an individual has not properly validated, acknowledged, identified and treated. Vicodin provides temporary relief from underlying physical and psychological pain.

At the core of every chemical dependency, including Vicodin abuse, pain signals a need for deep healing. At Passages, patients seek out the source of emotional, psychological or physical pain. The staff provides effective and targeted treatment to resolve this pain. This transformation and healing occurs in almost every individual who has struggled with Vicodin and prescription pain medication addiction. With guidance, individuals obtain true freedom from addiction without relapse.

At Passages, the individual teams of clinicians do not treat just the symptoms of Vicodin addiction. The treatment teams treat the core issues that created chemical dependency in the first place. For some people, ongoing and undetected physical issues need relief, so that pain can be resolved rather than simply medicated away. For others, buried traumas, secret heartbreaks, unresolved grief, spiritual wounds and low self esteem need resolution in order to remove the desire to self-medicate emotional pain through Vicodin abuse.

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

A total recovery from the underlying causes of Vicodin addiction is possible. Vicodin addiction amounts to short-term relief for a long-term problem. Unfortunately, Vicodin only worsens chronic pain, heartbreak or emotional issues. Vicodin creates imbalances in the body that fuel ongoing addiction. When the body detoxifies from Vicodin and the reasons for Vicodin abuse appear, targeted treatment can free users from addiction.

Many drug treatment centers offer Vicodin recovery options that do not work because these centers believe that addiction is a "disease." This self-defeating outlook alleviates the treatment center itself from the burden to seek out, properly diagnose and accurately treat the reasons for Vicodin addiction. Relapse rates are high, in part, because relapse is an accepted part of the "incurable condition" of addiction under this model.

At its core, addiction is the predictable outcome of the chemical changes involved in addictive substances over time. As such, addiction is only a symptom of the real problem at hand, not a condition itself. Once a patient treats the reasons for addiction, the individual can cure the underlying issue. The drive to use Vicodin will disappear. When there is no emotional or physical pain to self-medicate, Vicodin addiction will cease.

Few people can stop abusing Vicodin without medical help to detoxify. Users also need psychological and spiritual assistance to heal the core reasons for addiction. At Passages, the addiction experts specialize in treating Vicodin addiction and resolving the underlying pain that drives addiction. Clients can achieve total and complete sobriety from drug addiction. Learn more about this hopeful philosophy in the book, The Alcoholism and Addiction Cure by Passages founder, Chris Prentiss.
