Facts

  • The problem with both recreational abuse and legitimate use of Adderall is that dependent users need larger and larger doses of the drug to achieve the desired effects.
  • Sudden cessation of use of prescription opiates drugs such as morphine, hydromorphone, or oxycodone results in withdrawal symptoms within six to 12 hours of the last dose.
  • Opiate users who inject their drug of choice are at risk from infections from unsterile solutions, syringes, and needles which can cause illnesses such as liver disease, tetanus, and serum hepatitis.
  • The illicit diversion use of prescription drugs has increased dramatically since the 1990s and has been accompanied by increased emergency room visits, accidental poisonings, and drug rehab admissions for addiction.

Alexandria - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation center that is specially intended for them. Choosing to attend one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address 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 recovery 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 be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
