Facts

  • Research indicates that when given a free choice, animals will readily operate pumps that inject them with cocaine or amphetamine. Animals dependent on amphetamines will work hard to get more of the drug.
  • Nearly one in three 18-to-24-year-olds admitted to emergency rooms for serious injuries is under the influence of alcohol.
  • The rate of annual use of marijuana had been on a steady decline between 2002 and 2007, then increased from 2008 to 2009 at which time use was slightly higher than the 2002 rate.
  • Long-term use of an anti-depressant is most likely to cause a much different set of withdrawal symptoms when discontinued than the repeated use of an opioid, such as heroin.

Gays and Lesbians - Mertztown, PA.

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of attending a drug treatment center that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Deciding to go to 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 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 isolation, shame, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
