Facts

  • The high level of alcohol consumption is many times greater than the level of illegal drug use, making it one of America's most serious drug problems.
  • Women have less water in their bodies than men, so after a man and woman of the same weight drink the same amount of alcohol, the woman's blood alcohol concentration will most likely be higher.
  • Methadone has always been known as the replacement drug for people that are addicted to opiates such as heroin, morphine and other narcotics, and is commonly used as part of methadone maintenance treatment.
  • Inhalants known to cause severe liver and kidney damage are toluene-containing substances and chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as correction fluids and dry cleaning fluids.

El Dorado, CA. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of attending a drug rehab program that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy helps in resolving issues with isolation, shame, 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.
