Facts
- Most deaths as a result of inhalant abuse are due to repetitive inhalation, which can lead to extremely high concentrations of inhaled fumes, which displaces the available oxygen in the lungs.
- Some individuals who use hashish mix it into foods or use it to brew tea.
- Marijuana use and early use of other illicit drugs during adolescence make an individual more likely to continue using marijuana in their mid-30s or beyond.
- Moderate use of alcohol (2-3 drinks) can cause loss of motor coordination for up to 12 to 18 hours following alcohol consumption.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the choice of attending a drug rehabilitation center that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to attend one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues 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 isolation, shame, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
