Facts

  • More and more opiate users are turning to sniffing and smoking opiates instead of injection them, because of increased purity and the misconception that these forms of administration are safer.
  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
  • Someone using opiates for pain may say that they still feel the pain but that it doesn't bother them any longer.
  • OxyContin is in the drug class known as opioids, which are made from substances found in opium or are synthetic classes of drugs that act like morphine, and are the most effective pain relievers available.

Gays and Lesbians - Gerton

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug rehab program that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy helps in resolving issues with isolation, shame, 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.
