Facts

  • Instead of disposing of prescription drugs down toilets or drains, prescription drugs should be disposed of in sealed plastic bags with filler such as coffee grounds or kitty litter.
  • The rate of emergency room department visits during 2009 for stimulants was highest among individuals aged 25-29.
  • Barbiturates are prescribed as anticonvulsants, sedatives, and general anesthetics but can also induce euphoria, elation, and uninhibited behavior which make them candidates for abuse. If individuals suddenly cease using the barbiturates, symptoms of withdrawal syndrome appear 12-20 hours after the last dose.
  • Treating drug addicted individuals in a drug rehab program is far less expensive than its alternatives, such as incarcerating these individuals.

Nicasio, California - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of attending a drug treatment facility that is specifically designed for them. Deciding to attend one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems they are struggling 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 shame, Isolation, 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 know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
