Facts
- Many new heroin users begin by snorting or smoking heroin in an attempt to avoid the social stigma attached to injection drug use.
- Methamphetamine causes a release of high levels of dopamine into the areas of the brain that have to do with the feeling of pleasure and reward, which is why the drug is so addictive.
- Withdrawal from certain drugs such as benzodiazepines or alcohol can be fatal and therefore the abrupt discontinuation of any type of drug is not recommended.
- Many LSD users who take the drug regularly indicate that the drug takes on an exaggerated importance in their lives, which can often lead to emotional problems.
Gays and Lesbians - SpringfieldGays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug treatment program that is specifically designed for them. Deciding to attend one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties 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 rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
