Facts

  • Rare but occasional heroin withdrawal symptoms which can occur when someone abruptly stops using the drug are cardiac arrhythmias, strokes, seizures, dehydration and suicide attempts.
  • Long term marijuana users will sometimes utilize the drug to escape from problems, ease feelings of anger or frustration, and to get through the day.
  • Valium and alcohol are both central nervous system depressants that slow the activity of the brain.
  • Young adults are particularly prone to take part in binge drinking and to suffer repeatedly from withdrawal from alcohol, which may be a key reason for alcohol's harmful effects on the brain.

Ashton, Illinois - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to enroll into one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal problems they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine 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 know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
