Drug de-addiction
I have been using escatasy for about a year and a half...I want to stop, but end up using again after a couple of weeks.
Who would be the right doctor to reach out to. I cannot have my parents know about this.
Would love to hear option, this is my first step towards seeking professional help.
The doctor needs to be LGBT friendly

Hi it is great that you want to stop substances. As it has become part of your life and also a way of coping you need to address this issue holistically. Many of my patients stop drugs but restart them when they are stressed. Learn relaxation, healthy eating and develop a network of people who don't use drugs. You will benefit from self help groups
Next Steps
healthy lifestyle, consult a addiction Psychiatrist, start a diary of substances use.
Health Tips
you will get better if you plan on relapse prevention.
