Facts

  • Many young people who experiment with drugs cease drug use by age 30, but studies indicate that children of alcoholics do not follow that typical trend.
  • Most parents don't know that their child may be using inhalants.
  • When Xanax is used in high doses for longer than a couple of months, the individual can experience both a psychological and a physical addiction to the medication.
  • Women are unable to metabolize alcohol as efficiently as men because they have less of a liver enzyme (dehydrogenase) that converts alcohol into an inactive substance.

Gays and Lesbians - Barksdale AFB, Louisiana

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation center that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal problems they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy helps in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
