Facts

  • Stimulants were responsible for over 5% of the emergency room visits in 2009 for patients who were seeking detox or substance abuse treatment as the reason for their visit.
  • 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.
  • It is unlikely that individuals who wish to stop using Methadone will be able to quit on their own or complete a methadone withdrawal on their own or at a methadone clinic, and many individuals give up on ever being able to withdraw from the drug.
  • Treatment for alcoholism may lead to a reduced need for future health care services and can also reduce overall medical costs.

Hicksville, New York - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug rehab center that is specifically designed for them. Making the decision to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle 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 helps in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, 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.
