Facts
- Older children of alcoholics are more likely to experience symptoms of depression and anxiety such as staying in their rooms for long periods of time and not relating to other children, claiming they "have no one to talk to."
- The earlier an individual is offered drug rehab treatment the greater the likelihood of a positive outcome and long-term sobriety.
- 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).
- Studies indicate that stimulation of opiate receptors as a result of opiate use results in feelings of reward, and activation of the pleasure circuit by causing greater amounts of dopamine to be released within the brain.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug treatment program that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to attend one of these programs is a very good 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 treatment 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, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
