Facts
- After being in a state of euphoria from drug use, individuals going through withdrawal after cessation of use of the drug may crash and become depressed.
- Studies indicate that long-term methamphetamine use may result in extensive damage to the serotonin-containing nerve cells in the body, leading to long-term sleep deprivation.
- Because central nervous system depressants work by slowing the brain's activity, when an individual stops taking the drug this activity can rebound and as part of withdrawal seizures can occur.
- Some amphetamine users may turn to other dependence-producing drugs.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug rehabilitation center that is specially intended for them. Making the decision to go to one of these programs is an excellent 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 problems they are struggling 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 helps 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 stronger about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
