Facts

  • OxyContin is an opiate agonist, meaning it provides pain relief by acting on opioid receptors in the spinal cord, brain, and possibly in the tissues directly.
  • Sudden heroin withdrawal by heavily dependent users who are in poor health can result in death under certain conditions.
  • Opiate withdrawal can be deadly, particularly for those individuals whose health is already compromised from disease or lack of personal care.
  • Physical dependence to amphetamine occurs when the body has adapted to the presence of these drugs, and withdrawal symptoms occur if its use is stopped abruptly.

Sylva - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation center that is specifically designed for them. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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 more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
