  • Valium is sometimes used to slightly sedate individuals just prior to minor medical procedures such as dental surgery or other minor operation.

Gays and Lesbians - Shelby

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug treatment facility that is specifically intended for them. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues 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 helps 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 stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
