Question by Lucas M.: Quitting hydrocodone cold turkey?
Hello, I’d like to inquire in on quitting hydrocodone cold turkey. I’m a fifteen year old male who’s recently developed a habit to Norcos. I’ve been taking up to 30 MG per day and I’m running a fine line on supplies and money. I think it’d be the best of my interest to quit all together. Any tips or precautions on this matter?

Thanks all, Lucas.

Be grateful that you’re choosing to get your addiction treated NOW, when you’re still a teenager/adolescent, because after your brain finishes developing, which happens about 18 or 19 years old, your brain CHANGES and addictions that CHILDREN can stop without a second though become far far far more insidious and hard to stop.

Answer by D
That’s a surprisingly common pattern, and I dare say methadone clinics are nothing but money making machines for many of their patients. There are methadone users who’ve been “in treatment” for decades. All that to say, some people genuinely intend to utilize it for weaning off and away from opioids. An ethical treatment center would call her on her misuse, but since it’s often part of the addiction, kicking her out would also be the wrong thing to do.
