Facts

  • The active ingredient in drinking alcohol is ethanol or ethyl alcohol, which is considered to be a sedative and affects the brain the same way as other sedative-hypnotic drugs, like Valium and barbiturates.
  • Methamphetamine is similar in structure to the brain chemical dopamine, the brain's pleasure transmitter, which is what causes neurons to release large amounts of dopamine which produce a high.
  • Research indicates that a person's drinking pattern remains relatively stable with age, perhaps reflecting societal norms that prevailed when the person began consuming alcohol.
  • The long-term neuro-toxic effects, which can ultimately result from inhalant abuse, can include damage to the brain that is involved in controlling cognition, movement and vision.

Cromona - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of attending a drug treatment program that is specially intended for them. Choosing to attend one of these programs is a very good 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 problems they are having difficulties 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.
