Hydrocodone is a medication often prescribed as a pain reliever or cough suppressant. It works by binding to the mu-opioid receptor in the brain. After hydrocodone binds to this receptor, it blocks pain signals.
Constant misuse of hydrocodone can cause dependency and severe health complications. That is why at Continuum Outpatient Center, we provide comprehensive, whole-person, and evidence-based hydrocodone addiction treatment.
Hydrocodone is one of the most prescribed medications for acute and chronic pain in the U.S. According to the 2021 NSDUH annual report, about 5.0 million people aged 12 and older in the U.S. had a prescription opioid use disorder.
However, approximately 16,706 people died from overdosing on prescription opioids in 2021. This only underscores the need for effective and accessible addiction recovery resources.
Texas is among the top five states in the U.S. for the total number of opioid-related deaths. From 2013 to 2017, opioids accounted for about 45% of all controlled medications dispensed in Texas. During this period, hydrocodone was often prescribed.
In 2016, 1,375 Texans died from opioid overdose. This highlights the intense need for effective hydrocodone addiction treatment in Texas.
Aside from hydrocodone’s addictive properties, there are other factors that can lead to addiction and misuse. These risk factors can be biological, environmental, or psychological.
Some of the hydrocodone addiction risk factors include:
The symptoms of hydrocodone addiction can be physical and behavioral and can range from mild to severe.
Common signs of hydrocodone addiction include:
Symptoms of hydrocodone overdose include:
Hydrocodone misuse can take over a person’s life, leading to negative consequences. Continuum Outpatient Center uses a comprehensive approach to address hydrocodone misuse and its root causes.
By following a tailored and holistic treatment procedure, we are able to help our clients achieve full recovery. The main types of hydrocodone addiction treatment that Continuum Outpatient Center provides include:
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a type of psychotherapy that addresses negative feelings and thoughts so that patients can overcome hydrocodone dependency.
CBT involves a therapist who teaches patients how to identify triggers that cause their cravings. After identifying these triggers, the therapists will equip people with personalized coping skills to manage them.
At Continuum Outpatient Center, our cognitive behavioral therapy is available in an individual or group setting. It also helps in treating chronic pain, which is a common symptom in people with an opioid use disorder.
Dialectical behavior therapy is another form of psychotherapy that fosters a flexible mindset in people with hydrocodone misuse disorder. This type of treatment encourages transformation.
During DBT sessions, qualified specialists will guide the person through how to control their cravings. They will also teach them effective relapse-prevention skills.
Our dialectical behavioral therapy helps to:
Medication-assisted treatment (MAT) involves the use of relapse-preventing medications combined with behavioral therapies.
Continuum Outpatient Center uses FDA-approved medications for treating opioid dependence during MAT. These drugs include naltrexone, buprenorphine, and methadone.
Our medication-assisted treatment for hydrocodone misuse offers the following benefits:
In our group therapy setting, people struggling with hydrocodone misuse come together under the guidance of a trained therapist. Hearing other people’s stories and experiences help patients realize they are not alone in their struggles.
This realization provides them with hope and inspiration to achieve or maintain sobriety. Here’s how group therapy is beneficial for hydrocodone addiction treatment:
Achieving sobriety is not the end of the recovery journey. After completing hydrocodone addiction treatment programs, some patients have ongoing needs. Continuous support is essential to prevent relapse and maintain sobriety.
Continuum Outpatient Center recognizes the importance of aftercare. Our rehab aftercare plan includes activities that help people cope with triggers. Every Tuesday, our supportive alumni community meets both online and in person.
Holistic therapies are a range of treatment approaches that focus on addressing the mind, body, and spirit. These therapies help lower stress levels and reduce trauma responses, which are often the root causes of hydrocodone abuse.
At Continuum Outpatient Center, we combine holistic therapies with traditional treatment methods to promote sustainable well-being.
Some of the holistic therapies we use for hydrocodone addiction treatment include:
At Continuum Outpatient Center, art therapy is a powerful treatment approach that provides people with a safe environment to explore their emotions.
It can:
We provide people with different art techniques and mediums to assess what works for them. Some art therapy techniques include:
During our art therapy sessions, a trained therapist will integrate talk therapy while encouraging the use of art techniques. By doing this, we equip patients with valuable techniques they can practice outside of the facility.
Meditation is a mind-body practice that enhances self-awareness. We integrate meditation into our hydrocodone addiction treatment program because it helps to calm and regulate the nervous system. When a person’s nervous system is dysregulated, they experience cravings and heightened anxiety.
During our meditation therapy, a specialist will guide patients through how to regulate their breathing and bring awareness to the present moment. They equip people with breathing techniques that can help them remain calm during stressful situations, reducing the risk of relapse.
We also use meditation therapy to reduce hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms. Our meditation therapy can:
Our yoga practice helps to rebalance the parts of the central nervous system that have been affected by hydrocodone misuse.
During yoga sessions at Continuum Outpatient Center., a therapist will guide and teach patients to be attuned to their bodies. This cultivates a level of self-awareness which is helpful for people in recovery, as they are able to recognize their triggers.
By cultivating awareness, people can gain control over themselves and actions, reducing the risk of relapse.
Yoga helps to:
Mindfulness involves cultivating moment-to-moment awareness of one’s thoughts. At Continuum Outpatient Center, our mindfulness techniques include deep breathing exercises, body scans, and meditation.
We teach people to use techniques like the deep breathing exercise to observe cravings without acting on them. By developing the ability to sit with cravings without acting on them, people can resist the urge to use hydrocodone.
At Continuum Outpatient Center, we combine mindfulness practices with traditional treatment opportunities, such as CBT, to strengthen people’s coping skills.
At Continuum Outpatient Center, we offer two main types of hydrocodone addiction treatment programs. Each program we provide varies in structure and intensity. This allows us to meet the unique needs of every person seeking hydrocodone addiction treatment.
