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.
- Marijuana use impairs short-term memory and judgment and distorts one's perception.
- Risks associated with Ativan withdrawal including grand mal seizures and death show that use of the drug should be discontinued very slowly with medical supervision and over a prolonged period of time.
- Marijuana withdrawal produces both physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms, and it can be difficult to overcome the cravings which often results in relapse.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Substance abuse and addiction affects every age, race and gender. For drug addicted people 65 years or older, Medicare may be an option to pay for some if not all of their drug treatment. Medicare insurance may pay for the treatment of alcoholism and drug abuse in both outpatient and inpatient settings, as long as certain requirements are met. The addict must receive services from a Medicare-participating facility or provider. The drug addicted person's doctor recommends that the services requested are medically necessary and that the patient's doctor creates the plan of treatment to be carried out. Additionally, Medicare will only cover a total of 190 days in a psychiatric hospital for the individual's entire lifetime.
