Facts
- Short term use of amphetamines can easily start long term systematic abuse, with some speed addicts having habits lasting over twenty years.
- The elderly are admitted to emergency departments and hospitals about as often for alcohol-related causes as for heart attacks.
- The brain registers the psilocybin in magic mushrooms as if it was the natural brain chemical serotonin, and produces its effects by disrupting normal functioning of the serotonin system.
- Studies indicate that good drug rehab outcomes are contingent upon adequate treatment length.
Gays and Lesbians - ElmoreGays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug rehabilitation program that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal issues 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 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 know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
