Facts
- 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.
- Smoking methamphetamine can damage the throat and lungs, but is one of the preferred routes of administration which creates the fastest onset of high.
- Some methamphetamine addicted individuals "speedball" the drug and combine it with heroin.
- Inhalants known to cause severe liver and kidney damage are toluene-containing substances and chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as correction fluids and dry cleaning fluids.
Norman Park - Gays and LesbiansGays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the option of attending a drug treatment program that is specially designed for them. Making the decision to attend 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 handle other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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 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.
