Facts

  • As heroin leaves the brain and body, users experience withdrawal symptoms, which are often described as feeling like a severe case of flu.
  • Studies indicate that HIV positive women receiving antiretroviral therapy who consumed alcohol moderately or heavily were more likely to have higher levels of the HIV virus, making it easier for them to spread the virus to others.
  • Studies of young and adolescent users of Ecstasy found that 43 percent were classified as dependant to the drug, as evidenced by continued use despite knowledge of physical or psychological harm, withdrawal effects, and tolerance.

Southfields, New York - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug rehab facility that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on 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 aids 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.
