  • Opioids are the most common category of prescription drugs abused in the U.S., comprising about 75 percent of the prescription drug abuse problem.
  • A fever associated with drug withdrawal can occur among people who have been addicted to various substances, or even after a period of intense substance use. Fever symptoms may range from mild to severe.

Lake Lotawana - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the option of attending a drug treatment center that is specifically intended for them. Deciding to attend one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery examine 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 treatment is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
