- Most opiate addicted individuals are no longer capable of holding down a job which often leads to loss of health insurance coverage. Diseases and conditions that develop as a result of opiate addiction are therefore often paid for through public funds because these individuals cannot pay for their own treatment.
- Methadone is only approved in treatment settings for opiate addiction, and cannot be utilized as a form of addiction treatment for any other type of drug.
- Some gender-specific side effects of anabolic steroid use for teenage males can include: shrinking of the testicles, reduced sperm count, baldness, development of breasts, and an increased risk for prostate cancer later in life.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug rehab program that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to go to one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address 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 shame, Isolation, 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.
