Dihydrocodeine is available as a prescription in the United States as a combination tablet or pill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dihydrocodeine is formulated with acetaminophen and caffeine into Panlor (tablets) or Trezix (capsules). The combinations are a Schedule III substance according to the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA). This means they have a recognized medical use but are addictive and habit-forming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dihydrocodeine addiction treatment is the same as other opioid addiction treatment programs<\/a>, typically involving a medical detox and inpatient or outpatient rehab. The drug is rarely prescribed in the United States, however, and addiction professionals may be less familiar with it than codeine<\/a>, a similar opioid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Since most people are familiar with codeine but not dihydrocodeine, a conversion factor is useful for understanding it. Dihydrocodeine and codeine are 1:1 equivalent, meaning that 30 mg of codeine is the same as 30 mg of dihydrocodeine<\/a> in terms of pain control and addictive potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Compared to other opioids, codeine and dihydrocodeine are the least potent. The two drugs require higher doses to treat pain and are also less addictive. However, no one should mistake dihydrocodeine as non-addictive. All opioids have a very high potential for misuse and addiction. Less potent opioids can act as a gateway to more potent ones like oxycodone<\/a>, heroin<\/a> and fentanyl<\/a>. Regardless of the opioid, addiction has the same consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dihydrocodeine addiction treatment follows the general pathway of detox, withdrawal and recovery. Treatment plans are tailored to the needs of the individual and may be done in a variety of different settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Dihydrocodeine addiction treatment usually lasts somewhere between a few weeks and a few months. This period depends on how severe the drug misuse was and how the body readjusts to biology without opioids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drug addiction treatment<\/a> should last at least 90 days<\/a> to be effective. People on medication-assisted treatment<\/a> (methadone<\/a> or buprenorphine<\/a>) can expect treatment to last at least 12 months. Evidence shows this is the most effective treatment for opioid addiction<\/a>. Research has repeatedly shown that longer treatment produces better outcomes, but this will always depend on individual circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dihydrocodeine addiction treatment costs vary, but many insurance companies<\/a> will cover the cost. The best way for someone to learn about their coverage is to call the number on the back of their insurance card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If a person has no insurance or their insurance won\u2019t cover treatment, low-cost and free options are available. The cost of treatment is discussed in more detail once someone enters a treatment program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Picking the right opioid addiction treatment center is a matter of asking the right questions and getting good information. Some examples include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Comfort<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Location<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Treatment Approach<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Recovery Village Palm Beach at Baptist Health (786) 780-1408<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n People attending rehab should expect to be placed out of their comfort zone. Opioid addiction treatment in rehab centers is designed to heal months or years of damage caused by addiction. This may feel uncomfortable at first, but it will ultimately make life more rewarding and fulfilling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dihydrocodeine addiction treatment will follow the normal pathway of opioid treatment: detox and withdrawal, followed by remission and continued maintenance treatment. Treatment starts in an inpatient or residential facility for the most severe addictions. After acute withdrawal, treatment continues on an outpatient basis where those with mild to moderate addictions begin their treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People who complete rehab are given treatment resources to continue living a sober life. Some types of resources include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In opioid addiction treatment, the goal is to return the person to normal functioning in areas of daily life, such as at school or in the workplace. Research has shown<\/a> that most people who attend treatment stop using drugs and improve their relationships and activities at home, work and school. They also leave treatment with effective resources that help them prevent relapse and avoid uncomfortable triggers in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dihydrocodeine is an opioid medication used to treat pain.
