Facts
- Women are up to three times more likely than men to be prescribed prescription opioids such as Percocet, and twice as likely to form a Percocet addiction.
- When people mix cocaine and alcohol the dangers associated with the use of these substances are compounded, and the human liver combines cocaine and alcohol and manufactures a third substance, cocaethylene, which intensifies cocaine's euphoric effects while also increasing the risk of sudden death.
- Opiate use and addiction is directly associated with at least 50% of the major crimes in the U.S.
- The largest amounts of toxins in alcoholic drinks can be found in red wine and dark liquors such as bourbon, brandy, whiskey and tequila.
San Pedro, California - Gays and LesbiansGays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of attending a drug treatment program that is specifically designed for them. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal problems 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.
