Facts

  • Someone going through crack withdrawal typically turns to other substances like alcohol, sedatives, hypnotics, or anti-anxiety medications to treat their symptoms.
  • One option that is sometimes used to avoid opiate withdrawal is to replace the individual's drug of choice with methadone, a long-acting, cross-tolerant opiate that does not normally produce a "high."
  • Most methadone clinics don't take an individual completely off the drug and actually work to stabilize them at a certain dose for an indefinite amount of time which leaves them dependent to methadone.
  • Long-time crack users often alienate family and friends, as they tend to become isolated and suspicious.

Ledbetter - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of attending a drug treatment program that is specifically intended for them. Choosing to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues 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 isolation, shame, 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 be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
