Facts

  • The rate of annual use of marijuana had been on a steady decline between 2002 and 2007, then increased from 2008 to 2009 at which time use was slightly higher than the 2002 rate.
  • 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.
  • Methadone withdrawal is so burdensome to those who are addicted and dependent to it, that someone who is using it may think that they will be on it for the rest of their lives, or at least for many years.

Friendship, New York - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of attending a drug rehab center that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent 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 having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment take a closer look at 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 rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
