Facts

  • 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.
  • Over 75% of eighth graders, 83% of tenth graders, and 73% of high school seniors in the U.S. surveyed in 2008 reported that using heroin occasionally without a needle was a great risk.
  • Opiates activate opiate receptors that are widely distributed throughout the brain and body which are part of the body's natural reward system and also relieve pain.
  • Methamphetamine can be taken in a variety of ways including smoking, injecting, snorting, swallowing, or inserting the drug into the anus.

Hoisington - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of attending a drug rehab center that is specifically designed for them. Choosing to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy helps in resolving issues with isolation, shame, 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.
