Lortab Addiction vs. Lortab Dependency

Lortab addiction follows from an untreated prescription drug dependency.

You did not choose to become an ‘accidental’ Lortab addict when you started narcotic treatment.

Typically, the analgesic Lortab treats moderate to severe, and surgical, pain. (More on Lortab.)

• However, Lortab is very habit-forming under chronic use.

Your prolonged use of prescription Lortab for pain relief can lead from medical treatment to prescription dependency …to drug addiction. You started Lortab treatment in an  attempt to manage:

• Acute or chronic, surgical or physical pain (including migraines).
• Unbearable emotional pain, or possibly misdiagnosed depression.

Your Lortab addiction may surprise you, because dependency sneaks up gradually under the guise of pain management. (More on Lortab overdose.)

• You do not realize you are developing an opiate tolerance, when your body requires more Lortab than before to make the pain go away and stay away.

Untreated Lortab dependency progresses to Lortab addiction if you do not address health issues early on. Abuse of any opiate painkiller, although under prescription, can do the same.

You may actually be trying to treat the pain of withdrawal symptoms, and not just the pain of your initial physical condition anymore. (More on Lortab withdrawal.)

After habituating to a chemical, you will tend to self-medicate in attempts to achieve:

• Relief through physical elation that helps you to maintain emotional stability.
• Alleviation of agonizing withdrawal symptoms due to opiate tolerance.

Like many, you may notice ‘cold turkey’ attempts and counseling do not resolve your physical dilemma. Proper medical treatment or psychotherapy can only be effective after the physical disorder is treated.

• First, you need to remove opiates from your system.

Lortab Addiction Symptoms

The Waismann Method of Rapid Detoxification views physical dependence and tolerance as separate and distinct issues from abuse and addiction.

Many patients suffering under Lortab addiction come to us when their overdosage has reached a fearful level.

• Are you, too, distressed by painful withdrawal overdose symptoms?

Like our other patients, you may have tried and failed in attempts at other drug treatment programs or to wean yourself off. Not wanting to fall into Lortab addiction, dependent patients come to Waismann for the same reason:

• To be free of all opiate use.

Signs of habit-forming Lortab addiction due to opiate withdrawal, which they want to avoid, include (but are not limited to):

• Aching limbs
• Cascading bodily reactions
• Cold sweats
• Depression
• Distress
• Hallucinations
• Mounting anxiety
• Nausea
• Unbearable pain
• Uncontrollable diarrhea
• Vomiting
