Facts

  • Taken orally once a day, methadone suppresses narcotic withdrawal for between 24 and 36 hours.
  • Xanax produces a depressant effect on areas of the brain that impacts alertness, very similar to the effect that alcohol and sedatives create.
  • Women are unable to metabolize alcohol as efficiently as men because they have less of a liver enzyme (dehydrogenase) that converts alcohol into an inactive substance.
  • Methamphetamine may dry mucosa which may then lead to more chafing and abrasions in the genital area, which could make methamphetamine users more susceptible to HIV during sexual activity.

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the option of attending a drug rehabilitation facility that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians.

During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems 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, 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 be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
