Answers:
Vicodin contains opiates, which is a narcotic thats addictive (if you use it too much and too long) and it what makes you high... the strong painkillers like vicodin, morphine, etc contain it, but its only used for severe pain.Health Question & Answer

Yeah pretty much all those questions you ask can be answered in one word:

Opiate.

Vicodin has a risk of dependency because you have a possibility of addiction if taken carelessly or rather 'too much'.

There are a few other drugs like this, but the main concern to address is whether a drug/prescription contains opiates.Health Question & Answer

Yes, vicodin is an opiate, which means one of the ingredients is opium. It's a narcotic pain pill much like Oxycontin or morphine. Narcotic pain pills and benzos are the ones usually abused for giving you a "high"Health Question & Answer
