Lortab Addiction

Q) Is Lortab addictive?

A) Yes. People become dependent upon Lortab to achieve a feeling of well-being. They will often get multiple prescriptions from different doctors in order to support their habit. Like all addictive drugs, Lortab activates the brain’s reward systems. This causes the individual to crave the drug and to focus on getting more of it and taking it. Lortab’s ability to strongly activate brain reward mechanisms and their ability to chemically alter the normal functioning of these systems is what can produce an addiction. Lortab can also reduce your level of consciousness, harming the ability to think or be fully aware of your current surroundings.
