Facts

  • Over 20% of patients seeking detox or substance abuse treatment as part of an emergency room visit in 2009 were referred to detox or treatment services.
  • The withdrawal symptoms associated with amphetamines are magnified in chronic users who abruptly stop taking the drug, which is why it is recommended that individuals addicted to these drugs participate in a residential drug treatment program specializing in this type of withdrawal and addiction treatment.
  • Sudden stopping use of methadone at high doses can result in withdrawal symptoms described as "the worst withdrawal imaginable," which individuals will need to endure for weeks or even months.
  • Women who consume alcohol are more likely to have alcohol-related heart disease, even though women drink less alcohol over a lifetime than men.

Stonington, Connecticut - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug rehab program that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is an excellent 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 having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy helps in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
