Facts

  • Because individuals who take hypnotic medication to sleep often experience withdrawal from these drugs when they try and quit, they often become addicted to them and use them long-term for fear of going through withdrawal.
  • When a prescription medication is stopped, withdrawal from the drug causes a return of the original symptom the medication was used for, often in a much worse degree.
  • Party-going young adults abuse Xanax in combination with other drugs such as stimulants and cocaine, which are known as "Xannie poppers".
  • Vicodin withdrawal symptoms can include cold sweats, diarrhea, insomnia, muscle pain and bone pain, restlessness, involuntary leg movements, vomiting and nausea, severe stomach cramps, excessive sweating, chills, goose bumps, dilated pupils, runny nose and eyes, depression and loss of appetite.

Briarcliff Manor - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of attending a drug rehab program that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal problems they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
