Facts

  • One of the reasons Xanax is so addictive is because it has a fairly quick uptake in the system, and individuals who use the drug recreationally like this because they feel the effects of the drug almost instantaneously.
  • Large amounts of dopamine in the brain as a result of a methamphetamine may lead to irreparable brain damage, because the drug destroys natural dopamine production sites.
  • OxyContin is illegally diverted for abuse in several ways including pharmacy diversion, "doctor shopping," and improper prescribing practices by physicians.
  • Retail pharmacies dispensed 174 million prescriptions for prescription narcotic opioids in 2000 alone.

Gays and Lesbians - Newton Center, Massachusetts

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug treatment program that is specifically designed 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 issues 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 helps 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 be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
