Facts

  • Withdrawal symptoms commonly associated with morphine addiction are experienced shortly before the time of the next scheduled dose, sometimes within as early as a few hours after the last administration.
  • Withdrawal is most commonly used to describe the onset of the group of symptoms that occurs upon the abrupt discontinuation/separation or a decrease in dosage of the intake of medications, recreational drugs, and alcohol.
  • One treatment approach that is used for managing opiate withdrawal is to treat the symptoms of the withdrawal with appropriate medication. Clondine, an antihypertensive drug, is sometimes used to reduce muscle pain and cramping.
  • The rate of drug overdose deaths in the U.S. has increased five-fold since 1990, primarily due to the non-medical use of prescription drugs.

Gays and Lesbians - Alton, Iowa

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of attending a drug rehab facility that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to attend one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
