Facts

  • Physical changes associated with methadone are similar to other opiates and may include a suppressed cough reflex, drowsiness, and constipation.
  • When Coca was first introduced the alkaloid cocaine was isolated, and it was used in medicine for its medicinal effects on depression, alcohol and morphine addiction, fatigue, and as a local anesthetic. The result was addiction and dependency to cocaine and its use in medicine was discontinued.
  • Stress from problems at work, with family, pain associated as a result of medical problems, individuals from one's drug-using past, and environmental triggers can all create intense drug cravings for addicted individuals without the individual even being aware of it.

Kingston, Missouri - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug rehab facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to enroll into one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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 know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
