Facts

  • While methadone is commonly used to detoxify heroin addicts, most heroin addicts are still extremely likely to return to heroin use.
  • The intensity and duration of opiate withdrawal varies greatly depending on the dose and speed of withdrawal. Short-acting opiates, such as heroin, tend to produce more intense but briefer symptoms.
  • Nearly all inhalants produce short-term effects that are extremely similar to anesthetics, which work to slow down mechanisms within the body.
  • A fever associated with drug withdrawal can occur among people who have been addicted to various substances, or even after a period of intense substance use. Fever symptoms may range from mild to severe.

Briarwood - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of attending a drug rehabilitation facility that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to attend one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery examine 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 more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
