Facts

  • Methadone used in opiate maintenance therapy was originally developed to help obliterate withdrawal symptoms and support a healthy lifestyle. However, the effects of withdrawal far exceed that of heroin which causes the individual to become addicted to it instead.
  • Vicodin withdrawal symptoms typically begin within 6 to 12 hours of cessation of use. These symptoms may grow stronger and then gradually subside over the next several weeks.
  • Studies indicate that early marijuana use and heavy marijuana use may increase the risk of developing a psychotic disorder such as schizophrenia.
  • The level of familial interaction may influence children of alcoholics risk for alcohol abuse.

Stamford - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation facility that is specifically intended for them. Choosing 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 address 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 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 stronger about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
