Medical Detox: Several options: a) medical mg'mt with a pain specialist involves controlling pain with non-narcotics & techniques to manage sympathetic Sx ass'c with withdrawal; b) substitution therapy: wherein less habituating meds are gradually substituted to replace excessive norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) use (yes, these are excessive norco (hydrocodone and acetaminophen) doses), c) adjunctive therapy: rapid detox under anesthesia.
