Facts

  • Marijuana users entering substance abuse treatment in the U.S. are most likely to not be in the workforce, that is, unemployed or students.
  • Opiate injection caused the users to experience a more effective and timely high, which produces an intense feeling of pleasure followed by a sense of well-being and a calm drowsiness.
  • Studies indicate that the average concentration of the major psychoactive substance in marijuana products, THC, is currently at higher levels than it was 10 to 15 years ago.
  • When injected or smoked, cocaine's affects peak in seconds to 2 minutes but last only 15-30 minutes.

Gays and Lesbians - Barataria

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug treatment center that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties 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 helps in resolving issues with isolation, shame, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
