Facts

  • Major opiate or synthetic opioid withdrawal symptoms peak between 24 and 48 hours after the last dose and subside after about a week.
  • PCP users may experience sparse or garbled speech.
  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.
  • Nearly 50% of street crimes and 33% of burglaries are associated with alcoholic binge drinkers.

Gays and Lesbians - Needham Heights

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug treatment center that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend 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 work on other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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 treatment 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.
