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.
  • Mental disorders for children of alcoholics are almost double the rates than that of other children.
  • The rate of emergency department visits related to marijuana use tends to be slightly higher involving individuals aged 20 years or younger (125.3 visits per 100,000 people) than those aged 21 or older (121.5 visits per 100,000 people).
  • Use of cocaine increases body temperature, blood pressure, and heart rate.

Gays and Lesbians - Opelousas, LA.

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug treatment facility that is specifically designed for them. Making the decision to enroll into 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 work on other emotional and personal issues 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 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 more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
