Interesting Facts and Statistics:

Those individuals who are on methadone programs or those who have a prescription for methadone pills quickly find the bills adding up; a better investment would be to seek drug rehab treatment.

Between 2002 and 2006, the percentage of teens aged 12 to 17 perceiving great risk declined for the following substance use patterns: trying heroin once or twice (from 58.5 to 57.2 percent), using heroin once or twice a week (from 82.5 to 81.2 percent), using cocaine once a month (from 50.5 to 49.0 percent), and using LSD once or twice a week (from 76.2 to 74.7 percent). Over the same period, however, the percentage of teens aged 12 to 17 indicating great risk for using cocaine once or twice a week (79.8 percent in 2002 and 79.2 percent in 2006) and for trying LSD once or twice (52.6 percent in 2002 and 51.6 percent in 2006) remained unchanged.

The elderly are reported to be the largest group of individuals that are known to be at risk for prescription drug abuse, in which they intentionally take medications that are not medically necessary.

Methadone does not give as strong of a buzz as heroin. It offers individuals the chance to tackle their psychological addiction and stabilize their lifestyle when it is being used as a substitute for heroin. Unfortunately, methadone treatment is often known to last for a long period of time; in some instances, for many years.

The signs and symptoms of Lortab addiction may resemble other addictions. Distinguishing Lortab addiction from other conditions is quite challenging.
