Facts
- Inhalants are highly addictive when abused recreationally which can lead to a chronic substance abuse problem that will often extend into adulthood.
- Studies indicate that an estimated 37 percent of 9th grade girls, usually about 14 years old, report drinking alcohol in the past month.
- What is sold as Ecstasy today is typically a toxic concoction of a variety of substances such as ephedrine which is a stimulant, dextromethorphan which is a cough suppressant, ketamine which is an anesthetic or even caffeine, cocaine and methamphetamine.
- Many addicted individuals misuse their outpatient methadone maintenance program, and take less than a blocking dose of 80 mg. so that they will be able to "feel it" if they combine their methadone dose with other drugs such as heroin.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of attending a drug rehabilitation program that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into 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 work on other emotional and personal problems they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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 rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
