  • Opiate side effects can vary depending on the dosage that a person is taking.
  • Most states require that a doctor document any methadone which is being dispensed for pain but not for the treatment of drug addiction, and all physicians with appropriate Drug Enforcement Agency registration may prescribe methadone for pain control.

Pedro - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug treatment facility that is specially intended for them. Making the decision 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 treatment 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 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.
