Hi, my son is abusing hydrocodone. I am so scared and I believe that there must be a way to deal with this addiction.

Hi, there has been an increasing trend of abuse of pain killers. Usually, patients who were once prescribed with some pain killer, don’t stop taking it after they are healed. So, it turns in chronic use or in other words abuse. It is very easy to purchase these drugs, a doctors are not really aware how easily they are abused. You need to lower the dose at first and later you will be able to try quitting it completely. Hydrocodone acts like morphine in the brain, so it is a serious addiction we are talking about.
