Vicodin Rehab Treatment
Detoxification From Hydrocodone (Vicodin)
The first step of treatment is detoxing from hydrocodone. This involves a thorough pre-assessment by our Consultant Psychiatrist to determine the patient’s personalised Vicodin detox programme. Other drugs may be prescribed during detox to ease hydrocodone withdrawal symptoms.
We provide medically supervised hydrocodone detox: nurses monitor each patient’s withdrawal signs 24/7 so that the dosage of medication can be adjusted accordingly. The patient’s safety is our most important aim, and we ensure that hydrocodone detox is physically comfortable.
The duration of hydrocodone detox will depend on how much the individual was taking and for how long, and will also be influenced by any other drugs that the patient had been taking.
Rehab Treatment for Hydrocodone (Vicodin) Addiction
Residential rehab is the best type of program for treating Vicodin addiction. Long-term residential rehab for hydrocodone abuse gives the user the opportunity to address the underlying causes that led to their addiction in the first place so that relapse triggers can be identified in therapy and a return to Vicodin abuse prevented in the future.

How Can Castle Craig Help?
Who will I speak to when I call Castle Craig?
When you call you will reach our Help Centre team who will give you all the information you need to help you decide whether to choose treatment at Castle Craig. If you decide that you would like to have a free screening assessment you will be asked a series of questions to build up a picture of your medical and drug use history as well as any mental health issues you are facing. If you decide you want to proceed with treatment you will be put in touch with our admissions case managers who will guide you through the admissions process.
How long is the rehab programme?
Residential rehab treatment starts at 4 weeks and can go up to 12+ weeks. Research shows us that the longer you stay in rehab and are part of the residential therapy programme, the longer the likelihood of continued abstinence and stable recovery.
How do I pay for rehab?
One concern we sometimes hear from people is how they will fund their rehab treatment. You can pay for treatment at Castle Craig privately, or through medical insurance, and some people receive funding through the NHS. The cost of rehab varies depending on what kind of accommodation you choose.
What happens at the end of my treatment?
Castle Craig thoroughly prepares patients before departure by creating a personalised continuing care plan which is formulated following discussions with the medical and therapeutic team. We offer an online aftercare programme which runs for 24 weeks after leaving treatment, in order to ensure a smooth transition back into your everyday life. Patients leaving treatment automatically join our Recovery Club where they can stay connected via our annual reunion, events, online workshops and recovery newsletters.
