Opiate withdrawal lasts for a long, long time. For a heroin addict, the worst of it can last for months, and you might not feel 100% well for over a year.
Vicodin is a much weaker opiate than heroin, so, the withdrawal symptoms might not be as severe, or as long-lasting. But it is safe to say you are in for an utterly miserable few months.
The medication Suboxone can relieve these symptoms. Suboxone is itself an opiate (a synthetic one), so, it will feed your physical need for opiates, without getting you high. That way, you can quit getting high without suffering painful withdrawal. The downside, of course, is that now you are addicted to Suboxone. You have traded in your Vicodin addiction for a Suboxone addiction. But it sure as hell beats the alternatives: continue taking Vicodin, or suffer horrible withdrawal!
Not all doctors are licensed to prescribe Suboxone, so, I have included a Buprenorphine Treatment Center Locator (buprenorphine is the main ingredient in Suboxone). Unfortunately, I can only find a treatment center locator for the U.S., so I hope you live in the U.S.

Can vicodin be taken 2 days prior to surgery?
For an adult, given a standard dosage of about 5 - 10 mg of hydrocodone in a Vicodin, and without any sensitivity to the acetaminophen in the Vicodin (such as the case with liver problems), then it should be fine to take a Vicodin 2 days before a surgery. The half-life of Vicodin is about 1 - 4 hours. So, plenty of it will have metabolized out of your system before the surgery takes place.

What can you expect if you're having an impacted lower wisdom tooth out tomorrow and the doctor prescribed vicodin?
You can expect short-term pain but in the long run, you will feel better with the tooth out! Vicodin is addictive. Do without it as much as you can. It also causes severe constipation. ~ T How you will react to Vicodin will be different than everyone else. Use it if you need it. With pain management it is best to control it before it gets too intense or it will be harder for the Vicodin to work. For me Vicodin takes most of the pain away but not all of it and puts me to sleep. your mileage will vary.
