Facts

  • Opiate addicted individuals need higher and higher amounts of opiates in order to prevent withdrawal symptoms and to maintain their feelings of euphoria.
  • Research indicates that a person's drinking pattern remains relatively stable with age, perhaps reflecting societal norms that prevailed when the person began consuming alcohol.
  • The onset of heroin addiction withdrawal symptoms begin six to eight hours after the last dose is administrated.

Tallulah Falls - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug treatment center that is specifically designed for them. Choosing to enroll into one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment 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 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.
