Colorado Lortab Hotline

Opioid use in Colorado and across the U.S. is at a staggering high, and everyday people are dying from overdoses. It’s being called an epidemic, and it includes the use of illicit street drugs like heroin but also prescription drugs. In cities including Boulder, Denver, Colorado Springs and statewide there is a push to slow the overdose deaths related to opioids, and if you have a problem with these drugs, you may feel like you’re ashamed or hiding in the shadows.

So what can you do?

We encourage you to call our Palmer Lake Lortab helpline, which is a free resource available to you 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

What is Lortab?

The opioid epidemic has touched every state in the U.S., and that certainly includes Colorado. Lortab is one opioid that contains acetaminophen as well as hydrocodone. It’s used to treat pain and is intended to be available only by prescription. Since Lortab does have the potential for abuse and addiction, doctors are warned to prescribed it and other medications like it sparingly.

It’s also important for people who are prescribed Lortab take it only as instructed, as this can lower the risk of addiction.

It is possible for people to abuse Lortab inadvertently, and also to abuse it by using it recreationally without a prescription.

As you use Lortab, whether by prescription or recreationally, you tend to build up a tolerance to the drug. This means that you need higher doses for the same effects, whether you simply want pain relief or you’re trying to achieve the euphoric high that can come from using opioids. Lortab can be particularly dangerous because of the acetaminophen it contains. Hydrocodone can lead to overdose primarily through respiratory depression, but if you take high doses of acetaminophen, it can lead to acute liver toxicity and failure.
