Lortab Detox

Lortab detox can save an ordinary mom with migraines from becoming a prescription drug addict.

When Diane, a 36-year-old mother of twins, could not sleep because of migraine headaches, her doctor prescribed Lortab. Soon Diane started taking 15 to 20 pills daily as her body required more of the drug. She excelled in college as her dependency went unnoticed, for a while, as is common for white-collar drug abuse.(i)

• Over 6.3 million Americans report similar misuse of prescription drugs for non-medical purposes (2003). (ii)

Others like Diane may recognize they are physically drug dependent. Some try to wean themselves off, but fail miserably because unbearable cravings and withdrawals render them dysfunctional.

Patients with chronic pain often face the challenge of withdrawal symptoms that come from stopping opiate use. Most patients wrongly interpret this pain as recurrence of their previous chronic pain.

• Lortab, the brand name painkiller that combines acetaminophen and hydrocodone, like all opiate drugs, is highly addictive and can cause pulmonary collapse and other organ damage if abused in large quantities.

Like many patients who take narcotics, Diane did not intend to become dependent on them. Dependency started when the body developed a chemical imbalance from using prescriptions to:

• Manage physical pain.
• Treat emotional disorders.
• Stimulate recreational drug ‘rush’.

Diane’s reliance was a chemical issue that could be treated with medication, like other disorders, but through Lortab detoxification.

Dr. Clifford M. Bernstein, pain management and anesthesiology specialist, relied on Lortab detox to treat Diane’s dependency. He employed special medications during rapid Lortab detox to facilitate the cleansing of opiates from the brain’s receptors, while the patient is under anesthesia.

• Without proper Lortab detox, drug dependency can turn into drug addiction.

Lortab Detox

Many opiate and Lortab detoxification patients come to us for help to detoxify from hydrocodone opiates. Although Diane’s narcotic intake was increasing, her dependency on Lortab was a treatable, reversible disorder. 

Lortab detoxification allowed her to return home in 3 days. Diane completed her degree without interruption, and…

• free of opiates.

She discovered that her migraine pain was reduced and manageable without the levels of Lortab she took before.
