Facts

  • Methadone is known to be one of the most difficult drugs to detox from, primarily due to the fact that the drug is stored in the body's fatty tissues.
  • Women and low-body-weight males have a lesser capacity to break alcohol down in the same amount of time as a heavier male or female, resulting in higher blood alcohol concentration.
  • Magic mushroom use generally causes feelings of nausea before the desired mental effects appear.
  • Withdrawal from certain drugs such as benzodiazepines or alcohol can be fatal and therefore the abrupt discontinuation of any type of drug is not recommended.

Fosters, Alabama - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug treatment program that is specially designed for them. Deciding to attend 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 address other emotional and personal issues 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, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, 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.
