Facts

  • Opiates can be ingested orally, smoked, or snorted, although many opiate users intravenous inject these types of drugs which will give the strongest, quickest pleasure.
  • Withdrawal symptoms can vary significantly among individuals, but some symptoms such as depression, anxiety and craving are very common under most circumstances.

Wurtland - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug treatment facility that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their problems 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, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, 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.
