Facts
- Over the past quarter of a century, recreational use of marijuana has increased significantly and has come to be considered by large numbers of young people as a normal leisure activity.
- The average lethal dose of cocaine either by injection or inhalation is about 750-800 mg.
- The acetaminophen component in Lortab can on its own cause a fatal overdose. High doses of acetaminophen can cause liver damage, and dosages should never exceed 4000 mg a day. Acetaminophen is metabolized solely by the liver, so there is a risk of fatal overdose due to hepatotoxicity when Lortab is mixed with alcohol.
- One of the reasons it is so hard to stop taking Vicodin is because of the intense withdrawal symptoms that occur as a result of abrupt cessation of use.
Gays and Lesbians - Avoca, MichiganGays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug treatment facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to go to one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems they are struggling 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, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, 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.
