Facts
- Use of methadone comes with similar side effects and risks as other opiates, including the development of tolerance and drug dependence.
- Methadone's life threatening side effects have occurred even in patients that were just starting to use methadone for pain control, and have also been observed in patients who have switched to methadone after being treated for pain with other strong narcotic pain relievers.
- Heroin withdrawal is not fatal for healthy adults, but can be fatal to the fetus of a pregnant addict.
- Intravenous heroin injection provides the greatest intensity and most rapid onset of the initial high from heroin.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of attending a drug rehabilitation program that is specifically intended for them. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal problems they are struggling 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 be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
