Facts
- Studies show that alcohol consumption may interfere directly with medications used for HIV, essentially blocking their effectiveness.
- Most opiate users continue to use opiates despite serious physical or psychological harm because opiate addiction can be so all consuming.
- The largest increases in prescription drug related emergency room visits between 2004 and 2009 were for oxycodone products (242.2 percent increase), alprazolam (148.3 percent increase), and hydrocodone products (124.5 percent).
- The euphoria from amphetamines often doesn't last very long and individuals soon experience an intense mental depression and fatigue.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation program that is specifically designed for them. Making the decision to go to one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal problems they are struggling 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 isolation, shame, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
