Vicodin Addiction Treatment Options in Tennessee
Vicodin addiction treatment in Tennessee is a growing need for individuals and families who never expected a prescription pain medication to turn into dependence. Many people across Tennessee start Vicodin after surgery, dental work, or an injury—only to find themselves dealing with withdrawal symptoms, cravings, and loss of control when they try to stop.
At Recovery Care of Columbia, we help patients throughout Tennessee—including Viola, Huntland, Livingston, Lafayette, Morrison, and Ardmore,—access effective, compassionate treatment for Vicodin addiction through 100% virtual Suboxone care.

What Is Vicodin and Why Is It Addictive?
Vicodin is a prescription opioid that contains hydrocodone and acetaminophen. Hydrocodone affects the brain’s opioid receptors, reducing pain but also producing relaxation and euphoria.
Over time, the brain adapts, leading to:
- Tolerance (needing higher doses)
- Physical dependence
- Withdrawal symptoms when stopping
- Strong cravings
Even when taken exactly as prescribed, Vicodin can lead to opioid use disorder.
Signs of Vicodin Addiction
Many people don’t realize they’re addicted until they try to stop. Common signs include:
- Taking Vicodin longer than prescribed
- Running out of pills early
- Thinking about the next dose constantly
- Anxiety or flu-like symptoms without Vicodin
- Buying pills from friends or the street
- Hiding use from family or employers
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and effective treatment is available.
Vicodin Withdrawal: What to Expect
Stopping Vicodin suddenly can cause uncomfortable and sometimes overwhelming withdrawal symptoms, such as:
- Muscle aches and bone pain
- Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea
- Sweating and chills
- Anxiety and panic
- Insomnia
- Intense cravings
Fear of withdrawal is one of the biggest reasons people delay getting help for Vicodin addiction treatment in Tennessee.
How Suboxone Helps With Vicodin Addiction Treatment
Suboxone (buprenorphine/naloxone) is an FDA-approved medication that treats opioid addiction safely and effectively.
Suboxone works by:
- Reducing withdrawal symptoms
- Controlling cravings
- Stabilizing brain chemistry
- Lowering overdose risk
- Allowing patients to function normally
Suboxone can be safely started when transitioning from Vicodin and other opioids, including hydrocodone, oxycodone, OxyContin, heroin, fentanyl, methadone, morphine, Kratom, 7-OH (7-Hydroxy-opioids), Norcos, Roxicodone, Tramadol, Opana, codeine, oxymorphone, Percocet, and similar substances.
