Facts

  • Studies of young and adolescent users of Ecstasy found that 43 percent were classified as dependant to the drug, as evidenced by continued use despite knowledge of physical or psychological harm, withdrawal effects, and tolerance.
  • Long-term use of anti-depressants brings about an unique set of withdrawal symptoms when discontinued; much different than the repeated use of an opioid, such as heroin.
  • Opiates such as heroin convert to morphine in the body which then activates opiate receptors located throughout the brain and central nervous system, including within the reward system.
  • If an individual going through benzodiazepine withdrawal experiences a seizure, they should be given fluids as soon as he or she is conscious and can drink.

Gays and Lesbians - San Quentin

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of attending a drug rehabilitation center that is specifically designed for them. Making the decision to enroll into one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties 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 helps in resolving issues with isolation, shame, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
