Facts

  • Men are inclined to consume alcohol in larger amounts than women. Although women absorb more alcohol, and take longer to break it down and remove it from their bodies.
  • Treatment for heroin addiction typically includes medically assisted detox services to help patients withdraw from the drug safely.
  • Psychological addiction on alcohol may occur with regular use of even relatively moderate daily amounts. It may also occur in people who consume alcohol only under certain conditions, such as before and during social occasions.
  • Some addicts who use methadone claim that they experience effects similar to that of other opiates such as heroin, albeit not to the same extent.

Saucier - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug rehab facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their issues 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 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 know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
