Facts
- The acetaminophen component in Lortab can on its own cause a fatal overdose. High doses of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, and dosages should never exceed 4000 mg a day. Acetaminophen is metabolized solely by the liver, so there is a risk of fatal overdose due to hepatotoxicity when Lortab is mixed with alcohol.
- The amphetamine containing drug Adderall is used by college and high-school students as a study and test-taking aid.
- While Lortab withdrawal can be difficult, it can be overcome smoothly if an individual seeks help at a professional drug detox facility or drug rehab.
- Seventy-three percent of heroin addicts report having used Xanax non-medically at least once a week to help them sleep.
Hospital Inpatient - Wattsville, VirginiaAny person who is seriously addicted to drugs or alcohol will benefit tremendously by receiving treatment from a hospital inpatient program. These types of programs are focused towards physical health, mental health and medical stabilization. Recovering persons will have access to medication as well as medical staff around the clock. While not every person attempting recovery requires this level of care, it is useful to those who have severe physical addiction problems to drugs or alcohol. Hospital inpatient programs often last several days to even up to a month. Once the hospital inpatient part of their recovery is finished they may choose to participate at a sober living setting or transfer into an outpatient program.
