A Message From the Publisher When you or a loved one needs guidance, care, assistance, or a change in housing, the passage in front of you — the journey toward finding these resources — can look like an intimidating and winding path. This is why we create the Lebanon County Resource DIRECTORY for the Caregiver, Aging, and Disabled each year for your county. For those in our community who are aging, disabled, or caring for a loved one, there are often numerous stops along the road that leads to a more secure quality of life. The professional services, advocacy organizations, living communities, and other helpful services you need are out there, and we hope this free directory enhances and simplifies your search. An extensive source of local, regional, and national information, the Resource DIRECTORY for the Caregiver, Aging, and Disabled connects you to an abundance of organizations, businesses, and services for Lebanon Countians who are over age 50, who are caring for a loved one, or who live with disabilities. Within its hundreds of easy-to-read listings, you’ll find options for physicians, veterans services, energy assistance, tax help, home improvement, and many other useful categories. Plus, the Resource DIRECTORY contains contact information for Lebanon County police departments, post offices, and emergency services, as well as county, state, and federal government phone numbers for your convenience. The Resource DIRECTORY is available in print and online at www. ResourceDirectoryPA.com, so it’s accessible whenever and wherever you need it. The Lebanon County Resource DIRECTORY for the Caregiver, Aging, and Disabled would not be possible without the financial support and community dedication of its sponsors and advertisers. The path toward the care and assistance you seek may be winding, but it doesn’t need to be traveled alone and unsupported. We thank the businesses and organizations included in this directory for helping the Lebanon County community access the resources they need to travel a clear route forward. Sincerely, Donna K. Anderson, Publisher www.ResourceDirectoryPA.com

Dear Pharmacist
3 Tips to Survive on Hydrocodone and Other Opioids By Suzy Cohen Vicodin and Lortab are two brand names of one of the most popular drugs in the entire world! Generically, it is called “hydrocodone with apap,” where the “apap” is an abbreviation for acetaminophen (a.k.a., Tylenol). When I worked in a busy retail pharmacy, this medication was on the fast-mover shelf because it was dispensed by the thousands each day. Hydrocodone/apap is a prescription
32
analgesic and in the category of “opioids,” which you’ve been hearing a lot about lately. Opioids are manmade drugs intended to look similar to the naturally produced opiates made in your body. The opioid drug binds to the receptor on your cell’s outer membrane and unlocks a variety of feel-good, numbing compounds that relax your body, increase pleasurable feelings, and suppress pain signals.
Lebanon County Resource Directory 2019 – 20
If you require this medication, there are three important tips you should know about: 1. Never stop suddenly. If you’ve been supported on this medication for more than two weeks, do not stop suddenly. It has to be weaned. Your body has already grown tolerant to the medication, and stopping suddenly could produce dangerous withdrawal effects. Step down your dose due to the downregulation of receptors that normally process important neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, acetylcholine, glutamate, GABA, and dopamine. 2. Reduce side effects. Hydrocodone/apap (Vicodin) is known to cause constipation as its No. 1 side effect. You can and should anticipate it, and take a stool softener like docusate. I recommend plenty of water each day and a diet that is rich in fiber, fruits like prunes, and even oatmeal. This may not help, and in that case, an over-the-counter laxative like Miralax (polyethylene glycol 3350) or a fiber supplement like Metamucil could help. For those of you who have been on this medication or a similar one, such as oxycodone/apap (Percocet) or OxyContin for a long time, I would like to enlighten you that constipation is the least of your worries! There is a condition termed “Narcotic Bowel Syndrome,” or NBS.
This condition causes gastrointestinal hypersensitivity. It’s terribly under-recognized! It’s never-ending, and you will wind up getting CT scans, abdominal X-rays, MRIs, MRCPs, ultrasounds, endoscopes down your throat, colonoscopies up through the bottom … and on and on! NBS is characterized by the progressive and somewhat paradoxical increase in abdominal pain despite continued or escalating dosages of narcotics prescribed in an effort to relieve the pain. I have more on this if you sign up for my newsletter at my website. 3. Never drink alcohol or take sleepers. Opioids are CNS depressant agents that slow everything down, including respiration. Alcohol does that too, and so do Benadryl and a host of benzodiazepine drugs. You should never combine two or more CNS depressants because it could slow your breathing down or stop it completely! This is how unintended deaths occur. By the same token, herbal sedatives are also CNS depressants, so do not combine your opioid medication with magnolia bark, skullcap, lavender, California poppy, lemon balm, valerian root, and others.
