Facts

  • Opiate injection caused the users to experience a more effective and timely high, which produces an intense feeling of pleasure followed by a sense of well-being and a calm drowsiness.
  • One option that is sometimes used to avoid opiate withdrawal is to replace the individual's drug of choice with methadone, a long-acting, cross-tolerant opiate that does not normally produce a "high."
  • There has been an almost two-fold increase in the rate of prescription drug related emergency room visits in the U.S. in the past three years.
  • 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.

Gays and Lesbians - Ripley

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug treatment program that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding 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 take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, 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.
