Facts

  • Some Ketamine users report having a terrifying feeling of complete sensory detachment that has been likened to a near-death experience.
  • When methadone is used to help an individual avoid opiate withdrawal symptoms, doses of methadone are administered every four to six hours and are slowly decreased until withdrawal symptoms have disappeared, then dosages are discontinued. It is likely that the individual will become dependent to Methadone however and the individual should research all options before choosing this one.
  • Most deaths as a result of inhalant abuse are due to repetitive inhalation, which can lead to extremely high concentrations of inhaled fumes, which displaces the available oxygen in the lungs.
  • Serious medical or mental illness as well as criminal involvement may increase the likelihood of individuals prematurely leaving drug rehab, in which case intensive interventions may be required to retain them.

Melrose - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug treatment facility that is specifically designed for them. Choosing to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent 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 struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy helps 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 stronger about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
