Facts

  • The practice of concealing cocaine or other drugs inside one's body (either by swallowing or inserting the drug) to avoid police or border authority detection is a smuggling attempt known as body packing.
  • Someone who freebases cocaine is at risk of being burned by the conversion process because a highly volatile solvent, such as ether, is being used.
  • 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.
  • 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.

Long Island City, NY. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation center that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Choosing to attend one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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 treatment 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.
