Facts

  • The average heroin addict spends anywhere from $150 and $250 per day on his or her habit.
  • With repeated use, crack cocaine users typically develop a tolerance to the drug.
  • Opiates which also have legitimate use in medicine but are commonly abused include morphine, meperidine, paregoric (which contains opium), and cough syrups that contain codeine.
  • Smoking freebase cocaine creates a more powerful effect more rapidly, but it is also more dangerous because the safe dose can easily be exceeded.

Nauvoo - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug rehab center that is specially intended for them. Choosing to attend one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle 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, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
