Facts

  • Withdrawal symptoms associated with the use of crystal meth include disorientation, confusion, apathy, irritability, itching, and depression that may be so severe that suicide occurs.
  • Moderate doses of GHB may induce sleep and make the individual feel dizzy.
  • Women who are of child bearing age should avoid binge drinking to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy.

Upper Arlington - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of attending a drug rehabilitation facility that is specially intended for them. Deciding to go to one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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 know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
