Facts

  • Studies show that alcohol consumption may interfere directly with medications used for HIV, essentially blocking their effectiveness.
  • Research indicates that a person's drinking pattern remains relatively stable with age, perhaps reflecting societal norms that prevailed when the person began consuming alcohol.
  • Instead of disposing of prescription drugs down toilets or drains, prescription drugs should be disposed of in sealed plastic bags with filler such as coffee grounds or kitty litter.
  • Local and regional law enforcement officials across the U.S. cite an increase in pharmacy thefts by individuals who wish to steal prescription drugs for their own use or for diversion to the illicit drug market.

Poca - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug rehab center that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to go to one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal problems they are struggling 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 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.
