Facts

  • Some individuals who experience psychosis as a result of crystal meth use may recover completely, but some show no improvement after 2 years with medications.
  • Valium may increase some individual's propensity toward self-harm and may even provoke suicidal tendencies or acts.
  • It is hard to detect if someone is addicted to Xanax because the drug cannot be picked up by a normal urine analysis.
  • Doctors argue whether the withdrawal syndrome leaves individuals who take sleeping medication worse than they would be without the drug, but evidence suggests that it often does.

Shannon, AL. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug rehabilitation center that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Choosing to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle 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 aids 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 more secure about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
