<div align=justify>Needless to say that Vicodin addiction is a crisis growing up in the United States. While you may see that illegal drugs like marijuana, cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine may be the talk in the headlines, you miss the fact that Vicodin addiction is a real problem as concerning as the illegal drugs are. That said, the Federal Drug Enforcement Administration believes that Vicodin could be the most abused drug in the whole country. Let’s see this shocking statistics to illustrate what I’m saying, in the last ten years alone, the use of Vicodin has increased four times! But this is not all, emergency rooms are reporting now an increase of 500 percent from visits of those abusing from Vicodin! While Vicodin can produce calm, even an euphoric state just like heroin or morphine, it is a narcotic which even though I will offer an incredible solution to pain relief, the truth is that Vicodin addiction is becoming a serious addiction problem. Lets review Vicodin in its pure content, pure hydrocodone, the narcotic present in Vicodin, is a schedule II substance which is closely controlled with restricted use. Now very few prescription drugs are made of pure hydrocodone, usually they are made with a percentage of hydrocodone mixed with other narcotics to make prescription drugs like Vicodin and Lortab. This basically permit them as schedule III whit few restriction and limitations of its use and distribution. One thing to consider here is the fact that like Vicodin, there are about 200 other prescription drugs based on hydrocodone which is regulated by state and federal law, but not closely regulated like powerful painkiller on the market. This means the high cases of abuse and severe addiction of this drug. You can find Vicodin tablets easily for $2 to $10 and 8oz bottles for $20 to $40. Medical experts had confirm that addiction or dependency of Vicodin can occur from one to four weeks of consuming high doses, of course this is subject to individual experiences but it is an average.
