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.
  • Short-term effects of Ecstasy use include feelings of mental stimulation, emotional warmth, enhanced sensory perception, and increased physical energy.
  • Opiate side effects can vary depending on the dosage that a person is taking.
  • There are irreversible health problems that have been directly linked to the use of anabolic steroids which may not begin to appear until years after the drugs have been taken.

Gays and Lesbians - Pocatello

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation program that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to enroll into one of these programs is a very good 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 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 rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
