Facts

  • Many addicted individuals misuse their outpatient methadone maintenance program, and take less than a blocking dose of 80 mg. so that they will be able to "feel it" if they combine their methadone dose with other drugs such as heroin.
  • Research indicates that short-term and outpatient drug rehab offers little more than drug education for individuals struggling with long-term addiction.
  • The excessive release of dopamine and stimulation of the brain and central nervous system's natural reward system as a result of opiate use is what leads to addiction.
  • Typical physical symptoms of drug withdrawal include changes in body temperature, fever, excessive sweating, abdominal pain and nausea and vomiting.

Amesbury Town, MA. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the choice of attending a drug treatment facility that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to enroll into one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal issues they are struggling 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 aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, 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 know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
