Facts
- Long term abuse of alcohol has been found to damage the frontal lobes of the brain.
- 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.
- When crack is cooked down in order to prepare it for injection, diseases can be spread if the tools used to cook the cocaine are themselves contaminated.
- Short-term residential drug rehab was first designed to address alcohol problems, and then transitioned into a multi-faceted program during the cocaine epidemic in the mid-1980s, at which point many began to treat other types of addiction.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug rehab program that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Choosing 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 issues 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 aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
