Facts

  • Use of amphetamines can cause an individual to become psychologically dependent on to them so that they are so central to a person's thoughts, emotions, and activities that the need to continue their use becomes a craving or compulsion.
  • The brain registers the psilocybin in magic mushrooms as if it was the natural brain chemical serotonin, and produces its effects by disrupting normal functioning of the serotonin system.
  • When group therapy is offered along with individualized drug counseling in drug rehab, positive outcomes are achieved.
  • Individuals who use corticosteroids or cortisone (an anti-inflammatory) can develop dependence to these drugs and may experience withdrawal syndrome if they suddenly stop using them.

Northampton - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of attending a drug treatment program that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Choosing to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery examine 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 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.
