Facts

  • The rate of current marijuana use among American youth aged 12 to 17 has been increasing in recent years and in 2009 was 7.3, and rose again to 7.4 percent in 2010.
  • The excessive release of dopamine and stimulation of the brain and central nervous system's natural reward system as a result of opiate use is what leads to addiction.
  • Research indicates that some people consume alcohol to relieve feelings of stress.
  • Methadone doesn't lessen the severity of drug addiction and dependence, and use of the drug in any type of treatment environment leaves the addict completely dependent on and addicted to methadone instead of other opiates they were formerly addicted to.

Kensington, KS. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of going to a drug treatment facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to go to one of these programs is an excellent 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 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.
