Hydrocodone Overdose Facts

Taking hydrocodone on a regular basis for any length of time, like taking any opiate based painkiller, is a huge risk. Though you may need it initially to mitigate pain, after a relatively short period, you will need more and more of the drug to achieve the same pain killing effects. As your tolerance rises, your body is adjusting to and expecting that you maintain a certain level of opiates in your system at all times. Stop taking the hydrocodone and you will experience withdrawal symptoms. Take too much, and you will overdose.

At The Canyon, we want to help you treat your hydrocodone addiction before you experience an opiate overdose.

Hydrocodone Overdose Fact #1: The First Experimentation Can Be Deadly

Those who don't know their tolerance are the ones most likely to overdose on opiates like hydrocodone. If you've never tried the drug before, you won't know how a given amount will affect you. And commonly, experimentation with new drugs often happens while under the influence of other drugs or alcohol and combining hydrocodone with other drugs can be lethal even if it isn't your first time.

Hydrocodone Overdose Fact #2: Overdosing on a Relapse is Common

Because tolerance level is the key factor to how hydrocodone will affect you, those who are addicted to hydrocodone and get clean only to relapse a few months later will find that their tolerance isn't as high as it was when they initially stopped taking the drug. Hydrocodone overdoses often happen to those who relapse after going through rehab or after they get out of prison or jail. Additionally, when traveling, those who can't find hydrocodone try to substitute other opiates in its place and often, again, overdose is the outcome.

Hydrocodone Overdose Fact #3: Mixing with Alcohol and Other Drugs is Deadly

Opiates alone can be deadly drugs if taken in large amounts or too often. Combine a strong opiate like hydrocodone with alcohol or other heavy drugs like benzodiazepines and the two together can be too much for the body to handle. Long time hydrocodone addicts have often overdosed unexpectedly when they mix their prescription with street drugs or alcohol. When too many organ systems are overwhelmed by intoxicating substances, the end result is the worst possible one: death.
