Facts
- Over 60% of Americans drink alcohol, with 50% being 'regular drinkers'.
- The most beneficial treatment for alcohol addiction in older adults may be education, as many seniors lack information about the dangers of excessive alcohol use.
- Use of amphetamines can cause an individual to behave in a bizarre, repetitive fashion and many become hostile and aggressive.
- Students who use Adderall non-medically also commonly take central nervous system depressants such as pain relievers or tranquilizers, which puts them at even higher risk of dependence or abuse, to counteract the stimulant effects of the drug.
Gays and Lesbians - FondaGays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug rehab facility that is specially designed for them. 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 address other emotional and personal issues 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.
