Facts

  • Opiates such as heroin convert to morphine in the body which then activates opiate receptors located throughout the brain and central nervous system, including within the reward system.
  • One treatment approach that is used for managing opiate withdrawal is to treat the symptoms of the withdrawal with appropriate medication. Clondine, an antihypertensive drug, is sometimes used to reduce muscle pain and cramping.
  • Nonstudent, nonmilitary personnel who don't have access to health services are more vulnerable to conditions such as depression and anxiety, often associated with dangerous alcohol consumption patterns.
  • PCP users may sometimes become violent or suicidal, and are very dangerous to themselves and to others.

Gays and Lesbians - Crane Hill, Alabama

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of attending a drug treatment center that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address 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 aids in resolving issues with isolation, shame, 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.
