Vicodin Addiction? - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

queenteree · 08-10-2007, 09:18 AM

Question: Can someone who was prescribed Vicodin and who probably took more than they were supposed to because of pain become addicted to it? And if so, once they built up a tolerance to Vicodin, would they then move on to Oxycontin? Are they one in the same? I am concerned about a friend, and feel they may be addicted, but I don't want to bring it up unless I kind of know what I'm talking about, and I don't even take aspirin, so I know nothing about drugs or drug abuse. Alcoholism, yes, drugs, no. Thanks for your insight.
