Facts
- The number of methadone overdoses has recently escalated in the United States within the past several years, with nearly 4,000 people dying from a methadone-related overdose in 2005.
- Only heroin, which is almost identical in terms of chemical structure to morphine, can be closely compared when considering dependence liability.
- It is important to understand that methadone withdrawal treatment is not the same as s methadone maintenance program, in which individuals who are unwilling to give up opiates are prescribed methadone as a legal, long-term substitute for their drug of choice.
- The rate of current use of illicit drugs among young adults aged 18 to 25 has risen significantly over the past few years, and increased from 19.6 percent in 2008 to 21.2 percent in 2009 and 21.5 percent in 2010.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug treatment program 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 struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
