Facts

  • Most opiate addicted individuals are no longer capable of holding down a job which often leads to loss of health insurance coverage. Diseases and conditions that develop as a result of opiate addiction are therefore often paid for through public funds because these individuals cannot pay for their own treatment.
  • Use of amphetamines can cause an individual to become psychologically dependent on to them so that they are so central to a person's thoughts, emotions, and activities that the need to continue their use becomes a craving or compulsion.
  • Over 1/3 of female victims of nonfatal domestic violence report that their assailant had been drinking or using drugs.
  • Nearly 83% of individuals arrested in 2002 for crimes related to crack cocaine were African-American.

Mertzon - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug rehab center that is specifically 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 handle other emotional and personal problems they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy helps in resolving issues with isolation, shame, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once treatment 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.
