Hydrocodone detox can be difficult because the drug falls into
the opiate category (naturally occurring constituents of opium),
causing both mental and physical addiction. Opiates travel rapidly
through the bloodstream to the brain, where they stimulate opiate
receptors, triggering intense feelings of pleasure and reward.
(Hydrocodone creates sensations of pleasure by stimulating the
body’s production
of Dopamine.) This quick high is followed a state of relaxation
and contentment that lasts for several hours. Concurrently, opiates
act directly on the respiratory center in the brainstem, causing
a decrease in the breathing rate of the user. When Hydrocodone
and/or other opiate-derivative drugs are used incorrectly, this
breathing slow-down can be dangerous and even fatal.
Hydrocodone detox methods differ. Many traditional treatment centers
have focused on talk therapy and the psychological aspects of addiction,
while others treat the often unbearable symptoms of withdrawal.
The rate of success with traditional methods, however, has been
low.
A newer and quicker method of Hydrocodone detox is Accelerated
Neuro-Regulation (ANR), a rapid drug treatment that is being used
with increasing success for opiate dependency. ANR, also known as
the Waismann Methodsm of rapid detox, treats Hydrocodone
addiction as a physical disease that can be overcome with advanced
medical techniques. ANR eliminates the cravings that often accompany
traditional opiate detox treatments. The Waismann Methodsm
has been clinically proven to be effective for Hydrocodone addiction.
In fact, ANR clinics have reported success rates of nearly 64% in
treating a variety of opiate addictions, including Hyrdocodone abuse.
