Acetaminophen is metabolized solely by the liver, so there is a risk of fatal overdose due to hepatotoxicity when Lortab is mixed with alcohol.
  • Long-term alcohol consumption may result in permanent damage to the brain.
  • Some drug rehabs offer family therapy which can help addicted adolescents with drug abuse problems and their families, and address drug abuse influences and drug abuse patterns which can help improve overall family functioning.
