Facts

  • Alcohol withdrawal symptoms typically occur within 5 - 10 hours after the last drink, but can sometimes begin days later.
  • Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug among drug users in the nation, and as of 2010 there were 17.4 million past month users in the nation.
  • Methadone is known for its calming effect, and much like heroin relieves feelings of anxiety and replaces this with feelings of warmth, relaxation and detachment.
  • 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.

Macedon, New York - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the choice of attending a drug treatment facility that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to go to 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 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 isolation, shame, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
