Facts

  • The high level of alcohol consumption is many times greater than the level of illegal drug use, making it one of America's most serious drug problems.
  • Physical addiction to alcohol occurs in consistently heavy drinkers. Since their bodies have adapted to the presence of alcohol, they suffer alcohol addiction withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly stop drinking.
  • Specific populations of American Indian adolescents who completed programs which incorporated peer counseling, enhancing adolescents' coping skills, and alcohol education were found to use less alcohol than their counterparts who did not complete the program.
  • The Tarnak Farm incident during WW II, in which an American F-16 pilot killed several friendly Canadian soldiers on the ground, resulted from the pilot's use of amphetamine.

Marlboro, NY. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the option of attending a drug treatment center that is specifically intended 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 issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids 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.
