Facts
- Studies indicate that HIV positive women receiving antiretroviral therapy who consumed alcohol moderately or heavily were more likely to have higher levels of the HIV virus, making it easier for them to spread the virus to others.
- When taking into account the negative health consequences and trafficking related violence as measuring tools, cocaine is just behind heroin as the second most problematic drug in the world.
- The earlier an individual is offered drug rehab treatment the greater the likelihood of a positive outcome and long-term sobriety.
- Research has proven that long-term drug use results in changes in the brain that can affect the person long after they have stopped using drugs.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug rehab center that is specifically designed for them. Choosing to attend one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal issues they are struggling 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 shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
