Facts

  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • There are different stages of drug and alcohol withdrawal. The individual person will start to feel worse and worse, hit a plateau, and then withdrawal symptoms begin to dissipate.
  • Typical physical symptoms of drug withdrawal include changes in body temperature, fever, excessive sweating, abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting.
  • The effects of crystal meth last anywhere from 8 to 24 hours.

Gays and Lesbians - Pleasant Hill

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the option of attending a drug treatment facility that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into 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 issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids 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 more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
