Facts

  • Short-term effects of marijuana use may include euphoria, distorted perceptions, memory impairment, and difficulty thinking and solving problems.

  • Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms can last one to two weeks, and are rapidly extinguished with reinstitution of antidepressant medication which is one of the reasons individuals become dependent to these drugs.
  • Some crack cocaine users become more sensitive to crack the longer they take the drug.

Gays and Lesbians - Matthews

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug treatment facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle 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 helps in resolving issues with isolation, shame, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, 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.
