Facts

  • Research indicates that past year LSD use rate among young adults was over 3% for males and slightly over 1% for females;
  • When GHB was available to the general public many false claims were made by drug companies involved, such as stating that it would help to build muscles, burn fat and improve a person's sex drive.
  • The longest time someone has ever had to be sedated because of a psychotic episode from being high on Bath Salts was 12 days; when the individual awoke from sedation, the psychosis as a result of the Bath Salts returned in full force.
  • The withdrawal symptoms associated with amphetamines are magnified in chronic users who abruptly stop taking the drug, which is why it is recommended that individuals addicted to these drugs participate in a residential drug treatment program specializing in this type of withdrawal and addiction treatment.

Highlands, NC. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug treatment program that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is a very good 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 recovery examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy helps in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, 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.
