HI and welcome to the forum.....well to answer you question there are 2 different aspects to detoxing the physical part body aches chills sweats runs RLS panic anxiety no sleep can last for 3 to 5 days with the sleep thing going longer ...most people find the mental part a bit more challenging that can last for a few weeks and as addicts there are symptoms of addiction
that you will have to treat the rest of your life....you have came to a good place for help
we can walk you threw this....first off dont let fear into the equation it only makes it worst
this is 1/3 physical and 2/3 mental to be prepared to fight on both fronts often people prepare just for the physical detox only....and then get broadsided by the mental mindscrew of not having the drug to cope with everyday life....there are a few things you can do to prepare look on the lower right hand side of this screen and look up the thomas recipe
pick up the stuff it suggests ...the best single thing you can bring to the table is a positive attitude it will take you far when your going threw this...keep in mind that most of the symptoms are just temporary and in about a week will pass...get ready to spend some nights up so rent some movies so you have something to do at night sleep is hard to come by...one of the best therapy's is a good hot soak in the tub it will releave a lot of the symptoms...we can help you out a bit more if you would tell us a bit more about this like how long have you been using and how many your taking a day...just know that we do home detox's all the time we will guide you threw this keep posting and reading the posts good luck and God bless......Gnarly

I personally dont know with vicoden. I am on day 4 of oxy wd and not feeling to bad. Try and ween down its pretty important. Read alot of the stories on here they helped me ALOT. I think its safe to say 3 to 5 days. Im no doc. Be careful if you are a heavy  user. Post things on here the next couple of weeks it will get stuff off your chest. Dont be scared youll do it.
