Facts

  • Over-the-counter analgesics such as Advil, Ibuprofen, Aspirin, Tylenol and some prescription medications can cause headaches for long periods of time as part of typical withdrawal syndrome after cessation of use.
  • Withdrawal symptoms can make quitting fentanyl and other opiates almost impossible, especially when one attempts to do so on one's own.
  • When the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers is damaged due to inhalant abuse, muscle spasms, tremors, and difficulty walking and talking will often result.

Thornwood - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of attending a drug rehabilitation center that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address 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 helps 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 be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
