Facts
- The effects caused by OxyContin when used illicitly make it a suitable substitute for heroin, making its use attractive to the same abuser population.
- Dexedrine is a stimulant prescribed medically to treat ADHD and narcolepsy, and abrupt cessation of use can cause withdrawal symptoms with chronic, legitimate use of the drug and in the case of chronic illicit abuse.
- Relapsing back into drug use after taking part in a drug rehab program is possible, with relapse rates similar to those for other chronic medical illnesses such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma that also have both physiological and behavioral components.
- A recent study reported that 30% of babies whose mother had taken the antidepressant drug Zoloft while pregnant were born with withdrawal syndrome.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug rehab program that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to go to one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery examine 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 treatment is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
