Facts

  • Nearly 50% of street crimes and 33% of burglaries are associated with alcoholic binge drinkers.
  • Large amounts of dopamine in the brain as a result of a methamphetamine may lead to irreparable brain damage, because the drug destroys natural dopamine production sites.
  • Because central nervous system depressants work by slowing the brain's activity, when an individual stops taking the drug this activity can rebound and as part of withdrawal seizures can occur.
  • Prescription opioid withdrawal symptoms are far more severe and the onset is more rapid short-acting opioids are stopped abruptly.

Gays and Lesbians - Guilderland, NY.

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the choice of attending a drug rehab center 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 problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties 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, 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.
