Facts
- Opiate users who inject their drug of choice are at risk from infections from unsterile solutions, syringes, and needles which can cause illnesses such as liver disease, tetanus, and serum hepatitis.
- Methamphetamine causes a release of high levels of dopamine into the areas of the brain that have to do with the feeling of pleasure and reward, which is why the drug is so addictive.
- People who have substance abuse problems have a greater chance of abusing Dilaudid when it is prescribed to them for legitimate purposes.
- Studies indicate that most of the damage caused by most drugs will eventually heal when the individual stops using them; this is not the case with the abuse of inhalants.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of attending a drug rehab facility that is specifically intended for them. Making the decision to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy helps 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 be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
