Facts

  • The fact that individuals who take hypnotics such as barbiturates and benzodiazepines will have withdrawal symptoms when they cease using these substances is very well known.
  • Contrary to popular belief that marijuana is not addictive, long-term marijuana users will typically experience withdrawal when they stop using the drug.
  • Initiation into experimental marijuana use during adolescence is often brought on by poor relations with parents, depression symptoms, and exposure to drug-using peers and accessibility of drugs.
  • 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.

Imperial, PA. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug rehab facility that is specially intended for them. Making the decision to go to one of these programs is an excellent 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 examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, 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.
