Facts

  • Studies indicate that drinkers who are able to handle a lot of alcohol in one drinking episode are at higher risk of developing alcohol dependence.

  • Numerous deaths as a result of suicide have been associated with the use of Bath Salts, most likely a result of the paranoia and extreme depression that individuals experience when using Bath Salts to get high.

Charleston - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation program that is specially intended for them. Choosing 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 address other emotional and personal problems they are having difficulties 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, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, 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.
