Facts
- When "Methadone Treatment" was first put into use to treat opiate addiction, it was meant to be a 20-day process, although methadone treatment facilities are currently run based on their profitability which keeps individuals on methadone indefinitely.
- The most serious adverse effects can occur when mixing Vicodin with alcohol, cocaine, amphetamines, methylphenidate, benzodiazapines, barbiturates, and a number of other medications.
- Valium is grossly overprescribed and doctors are partly responsible for the prescription drug addiction epidemic.
- Marijuana withdrawal produces both physical and psychological withdrawal symptoms, and it can be difficult to overcome the cravings which often results in relapse.
Tappan - Gays and LesbiansGays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug treatment center that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to go to one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues 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 aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
