Complete Vicodin Detox & Withdrawal Guide

Vicodin contains a very strong narcotic pain reliever called Hydrocodone (which is an opioid) and a pain reliever called Acetaminophen (sold under the brand name Tylenol). Because of the very powerful Hydrocodone, Vicodin has a very high risk of addiction and dependence.
