Facts

  • Prescription narcotics such as Lortab are often not perceived as dangerous as illicit street drugs, and don't carry the same stigma as illicit opiates like heroin, a primary reason it is abused.
  • Local and regional law enforcement officials across the U.S. cite an increase in pharmacy thefts by individuals who wish to steal prescription drugs for their own use or for diversion to the illicit drug market.
  • The rate of alcohol absorption in the body depends on the concentration of the alcohol being consumed. For example, vodka is absorbed faster than beer, because vodka has a higher alcohol concentration.
  • Over 500,000 emergency room visits related to the use of alcohol in combination with other drugs in 2009 included the following drugs: central nervous system agents (e.g., analgesics, stimulants, sedatives) (229,230 visits), cocaine (152,631 visits), marijuana (125,438 visits), psychotherapeutic agents (e.g., antidepressants and antipsychotics) (44,217 visits), heroin (43,110 visits)

Mockingbird Valley - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug rehabilitation facility that is specifically designed for them. Choosing to go to 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 handle other emotional and personal problems 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 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.
