Call 1-877-325-1982 for Vicodin Addiction Help
Vicodin® is a narcotic that can produce
a calm, euphoric state similar to heroin or morphine--and despite such
important and obvious benefits in pain relief, evidence is pointing to chronic
addiction. Pure hydrocodone, the narcotic in Vicodin, is a Schedule II
substance, closely controlled with restricted use. But very few prescription
drugs are pure hydrocodone. Instead, small amounts of are mixed with other
non-narcotic ingredients to create medicines like Vicodin and Lortab. This
means they can be classified under Schedule III with fewer restrictions on
their use and distribution.

Vicodin--one of more than 200 other products that
contain hydrocodone--is regulated by state and federal law, but it is not
controlled as closely as other powerful painkillers. The lack of regulation
makes them vulnerable to widespread abuse and addiction through forged
prescriptions, theft, over-prescription, and "doctor shopping." Vicodin pills
have been sold for $2 to $10 per tablet and $20 to $40 per 8 oz bottle on the
street.
