if you have a serious opiate addiction (pain medication, heroin, opium, poppy tea, and others...)
you need to research and look into getting some treatment. I currently attend a methadone clinic, and the rules and regulations are tough and tight, but having my life back, my emotions, and my health back are all priceless to me.if you just have a habit of hydrocodone or a rather weak pain medication, you should probably attend an NA group, because methadone treats you physically, but you will never cure your psychological problems without following up with corresponding counseling.
But as I was saying, if you are addicted, or are on the verge of becoming addicted to a rather "weak" on the totem pole of pain medications, then kick the habit cold turkey, get support from a group, take plenty of vitamins and herbal supplements, exercise to get the toxins out of your system quicker, drink a ton of water, and finally, cut off all connections to your dealers or however it may be that you have access to pain meds.
Hope my input helps. Methadone has LITERALLY saved my life. I have od'd once, been clinically dead, ruined relationships with my family, and now I'm a full time college student graduating this semester with an associates in science, and going on to get my bachelors as an electrical technician. I certainly would have od'd again if it was not for methadone.
Your habit will never ease up if you do nothing about it, it will only get worse and worse, as your tolerance rises and as you grow further away from the ones you love the most. Seriously.
