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.
- Offering continuing care and monitoring after drug rehab is complete is an important factor in long-term recovery, and programs should be prepared to readily re-admit individuals who have relapsed.
- Even milder forms of alcohol withdrawal include serious symptoms such as the shakes, seizures, and hallucinations, typically occurring within 6-48 hours after the last drink.
- Women who consume in excess of one alcoholic drink per day increase their risk for motor vehicle crashes.
Other Languages - CementAlthough finding a drug rehab program can seem like a difficult task, locating one that provides services for other languages is an added challenge. However, these days a lot of programs employ staff members who are bilingual. When you have discovered a rehab program that meets your needs, speak to their staff about the possibility of providing their services other languages during treatment. Even though they may not initially have the capability to provide their services in other languages they may perhaps be able to find a way to accommodate your needs. Often the facility will do its best to rise to the occasion and see what is available to help their clients.
