In 2000, the National Institute on Drug Abuse listed hydrocodone (the
narcotic ingredient in Vicodin) as an “emerging” recreational
drug. Its use has risen steadily each year, and has now achieved the status
of no longer being “emerging.”
According to Karen Miotto, MD, medical director of the Veterans Administration
Los Angeles Ambulatory Clinic, “one reason pain killers like Vicodin
are attractive to some people is because they provide a considerable feeling
of well-being, but users can still function relatively normally in their
jobs and personal lives—often getting away with it for years.”
