Facts

  • Ketamine can be found in tablet, liquid form or powder form and can be extracted by evaporating the liquid and reducing it to a fine white powder that can be smoked or snorted.
  • PCP can be snorted, smoked, or eaten.
  • Research indicates that a brain process known as long-term potentiating, or LTP, has been shown to be blocked in the brains of rats who were given as little as a single dose of morphine, which continued to be blocked 24 hours later in some instances.
  • Individuals who abuse drugs may be more vulnerable to infection, and both drug effects and withdrawal symptoms may mask the need for urgent treatment for another condition.

Gays and Lesbians - Arlington, Massachusetts

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation center that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to go to 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 problems 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, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, 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.
