Facts

  • Physical addiction to alcohol occurs in consistently heavy drinkers. Since their bodies have adapted to the presence of alcohol, they suffer alcohol addiction withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly stop drinking.
  • Routine toxicological screening will most often be unable to detect the presence of any of the analogues of GHB such as GBL and BD.
  • The current increases in rates of nonmedical use of prescription drugs has resulted in increased emergency room visits, accidental overdoses, and drug rehab treatment admissions for drug addiction.
  • In the most severe cases, untreated alcohol withdrawal syndrome can result in death.

New Bedford - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of attending a drug treatment facility that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Choosing to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal issues they are struggling 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 treatment is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
