Facts

  • Surveys indicate that about 6 out of every 10 women of child-bearing age use alcohol, and slightly less than one-third of women who drink alcohol in this age group binge drink.
  • Studies indicate that youth who consume alcohol before the age of 15 are five times more likely to become alcohol dependent than adults who begin drinking at age 21.
  • Mild forms of alcohol withdrawal can cause serious symptoms such as the shakes, seizures, and hallucinations, which commonly occur within 6-48 hours after the last drink.
  • The behavior of alcohol abusers and the consequences of that behavior are better indicators of alcoholism than how often or how much alcohol a person consumes alcohol.

Akron, AL. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation facility that is specifically intended for them. Choosing to attend one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address 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 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.
