Hydrocodone

Withdrawal symptoms associated with Hydrocodone include difficulties with sleep, reduced appetite, restlessness, queasiness, and other flu-like symptoms.

Opiate Replacement Therapy (ORT) stands as a proven and effective strategy for easing Hydrocodone detoxification and reducing the discomfort of withdrawal symptoms. This approach involves employing milder opioids to satiate the brain’s requirements, facilitating its gradual acclimatization to a life without the opioid.

There exist three distinct medication options, each potentially more suitable for different individuals based on their specific circumstances. It is worth noting that these substances also carry the potential for misuse. The initial two options, Methadone and Suboxone, come to the fore. Methadone boasts a higher success rate, albeit with an elevated risk of misuse due to its status as a weak opiate in itself.

The third alternative is Vivitrol, administered on a monthly basis and considered the safest choice among the trio. However, for its safety to be upheld, the patient must be fully detoxified from both alcohol and opiates prior to its usage.
