Facts

  • When ingested orally, users will feel the effects within 15 to 20 minutes.
  • When cocaine users stop using cocaine, or when they end a cocaine binge, they almost immediately feel the "crash" which includes depression, fatigue, lack of pleasure, anxiety, irritability, sleepiness and a strong craving for more cocaine.
  • Over 60% of adult men who report consuming alcohol in the last 30 days are more likely to binge drink than women (47%) during the same time period.
  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.

Artesia - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of attending a drug rehabilitation program that is specifically intended for them. Making the decision to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems 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 aids 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.
