Facts

  • The rise in demand for diverted prescription drugs in the U.S. has also come with an increase in crime associated with its misuse.
  • Withdrawal symptoms from Oxycontin are similar to that of many opiate-based drugs such as heroin, morphine, Dilaudid, methadone, and codeine.
  • People born in recent years tend to consume more alcohol than older generations, suggesting that as the current population ages these individuals will continue to drink more.
  • Large amounts of dopamine in the brain as a result of a methamphetamine may lead to irreparable brain damage, because the drug destroys natural dopamine production sites.

Gays and Lesbians - Penrose, CO.

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of attending a drug rehabilitation center that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment 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 rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
