He may need help: It's easy to take more and more pain meds until you're addicted. Encourage your son to see his doctor, find out the source of his pain, and look for other ways to manage it. Chronic use of pain meds such as hydrocodone can lead to overdose. Narcotics can stop breathing, and too much Tylenol (acetaminophen) can lead to severe liver damage. He may need professional help or try Narcotics Anonymous.

Change in pain : Chronic opioids use also caused a chronic pain syndrome which can make recovery that much harder. Recovery from opioid addiction requires counseling and often pharmacotherapy (medication) therapy. A provider who uses suboxone may help him deal with the recovery; dramatically reduces both cravings and the pain syndrome. First step, he wants to stop. More than 12 tabs/day increases liver injury.
