Facts

  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • When Xanax is obtained illicitly for recreational and non-medical use, it is rarely the only medication or drug which is being abused by the individual.
  • Nearly 83% of individuals arrested in 2002 for crimes related to crack cocaine were African-American.
  • The FDA banned Benzedrine inhalers containing amphetamine in 1965, but non-medical use remains common.

Gays and Lesbians - Raleigh

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug rehabilitation center that is specifically designed for them. Deciding to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems 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 aids in resolving issues with isolation, shame, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once rehabilitation 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.
