Facts

  • There is a massive gap between those who need drug rehab and those who actually receive it, and efforts to reduce this gap must include increasing access to treatment, achieving insurance parity, reducing stigma, and raising awareness regarding the value of drug rehab.
  • Studies indicate that Ecstasy users suffer short-term and long-term verbal memory impairment, with 70-80% of ecstasy users displaying significantly impaired memory.
  • Once an Ecstasy user takes the drug, it takes only about 15 minutes for the drug to enter the bloodstream and reach the brain.
  • Research has proven that long-term drug use results in changes in the brain that can affect the person long after they have stopped using drugs.

Gays and Lesbians - Edgar

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of attending a drug treatment program that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent 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 examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with isolation, shame, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
