My best friend has struggled with addiction for years. She’s been in and out of rehab many times. She’s experimented with many different drugs. The Vicodin Addiction has been the hardest addiction for her to break. The addiction started with a back injury and after her back was healed she continued to take the medication. She already had an issue with addiction so this just made the problem worse. Some people do not understand that their is a difference between when you medically need a medication and when your abusing the medication. If you have to keep taking more and more of a medication, you may have an issue with addiction. Some people find it easy to go through Detox in order to be free of the addiction. My friend at her last visit to rehab did start to do better with her multiply addictions. She’s now able to hold a full time job and getting better. She’s taking things one day at a time. When she’s struggling she calls a friend or family member for some help. At the last rehab place they used a medication called Suboxone which helped her not go through all the withdrawal symptoms from the vicodin. I’m glad to see that there is finally a place where she can get well.
