Do You Need Help For a Hydrocodone Addiction?

You may be wondering whether or not a hydrocodone hotline could be helpful for you. At The Recovery Village at Palmer Lake, we offer detox and treatment for people who are addicted to a variety of drugs including opioids like hydrocodone. Our services help people throughout the state including Boulder, Colorado Springs and Dever, as well as everywhere else statewide.

If you feel that you or a loved one could be abusing hydrocodone or addicted to it, calling a 24/7 free hotline can be the first step you need to recover.

What is Hydrocodone?

Hydrocodone is one of the most widely prescribed opioids not just in Colorado but the U.S., and it’s also one of the most abused prescription drugs. In a medical setting, it can be prescribed to treat pain, and it acts on the central nervous system in a way that’s similar to morphine. This narcotic prescription does have therapeutic uses, but it’s also addictive as are other opioids.

Hydrocodone is actually the generic name of a drug that’s included in brand-name prescription medicines including Lortab, Vicodin, and Norco.

So, how do you know if hydrocodone abuse is occurring?

First, anytime you’re taking hydrocodone without a prescription it’s considered abuse. Also, if you have a prescription but take larger doses or take it more frequently than your doctor directs you, that’s considered drug abuse as well.

Abuse and addiction aren’t necessarily the same thing, although opioid abuse often leads to addiction. When you call our free, confidential toll-free oxycodone helpline, you can learn more about addiction and whether or not you fit the criteria.

Some of the signs of an addiction to oxycodone include the feeling that you need to take the drug throughout the day to maintain a feeling of normalcy. Other signs of hydrocodone addiction that might require you to contact a free hydrocodone hotline include:

  • Isolating yourself from other people
  • Neglecting your family, school or work responsibilities
  • Doctor shopping to receive multiple prescriptions
  • Exaggerating symptoms to get oxycodone prescriptions
  • Financial problems
  • Focusing almost exclusively on hydrocodone including obtaining more and using it
  • Changes in mood or attitude
