The opiate addiction epidemic is continually growing and Lorcet is part of the problem. Lorcet is a combination of acetaminophen and hydrocodone. The hydrocodone is highly addictive and requires treatment to end the addiction. Treatment usually follows specific phases.

Phase 1: Assessment

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the first phase of addiction treatment is an assessment. At this meeting, a clinician will ask you questions about your addiction. While this phase might be hard, it is extremely important to tell the truth. Some of the questions they may ask include:

• What are you taking?
• How long have you been taking it?
• What dosage did you take?
• Does anyone else in your family have a problem with drugs or alcohol?
• Do you take any other drugs or medications?
• Are you allergic to anything?
• Do you have any other health concerns?
• What do you want out of treatment?
• What is your current support system?
• What is the history of your drug use?

There are many more questions during the initial assessment. Some may be about your Lorcet addiction, while others might be about your habits and lifestyle.

Phase 2: Detoxification

You’ll need to consider any other health concerns you have when entering treatment.

Detoxification is the abrupt discontinuation of a substance in a strong supportive environment. During detox, you might experience withdrawal symptoms. Most people who are going through detox can receive medication to help with the symptoms.

Some of the medications that accredited drug treatment centers use for Lorcet addiction include:

• Methadone
• Suboxone
• Burprenorphine

These medications stop the withdrawal symptoms and are useful in addiction treatment.

Phase 3: Addiction Treatment

This phase is where the real work begins. There are several types of treatment for you to choose from. Some of your treatment options are:

• Medication-Assisted Treatment: Doctors use medication to stop the withdrawal symptoms and cravings and provide counseling to help change your behavior.
• Cold Turkey Treatment: This treatment does not include the use of any medication. You participate in counseling to help change your addiction behaviors.
• Supplemental Medication Treatment: Supplemental medications such as antidiarrheals, analgesics, and antiemetics are given to help with the withdrawal symptoms and counseling is provided..
• Medication Management: During medication management, you stay on medications used during detox to help with the craving and withdrawal symptoms. You can stay on some medications for years.
• Medication Tapering: During this type of treatment, you stay on the medication until you are ready and the doctor helps you wean off it.

All of these treatments may be in an inpatient or an outpatient setting, depending on your preference.
