Facts

  • Withdrawal symptoms can make quitting fentanyl and other opiates almost impossible, especially when one attempts to do so on one's own.
  • Opiates act directly on the respiratory center in the brainstem, causing a slow in activity resulting in a decrease in breathing rate.
  • Because individuals who take hypnotic medication to sleep often experience withdrawal from these drugs when they try and quit, they often become addicted to them and use them long-term for fear of going through withdrawal.
  • After withdrawal and detoxification are complete, addiction treatment and long-term recovery program is necessary to achieve long-term sobriety.

Gays and Lesbians - Laconia, Tennessee

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the choice of attending a drug treatment facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into 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 address other emotional and personal problems 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 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 know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
