Facts

  • 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.
  • Over-the-counter stimulants are often sold as "speed" or other amphetamines, and many deaths due to stroke have been reported following massive doses of look-alike combinations.
  • Antidepressant withdrawal symptoms and their widespread recurrence, even when individuals step down their dose very gradually, is caused by the receptors in the serotonin system experiencing the drop in serotonin to pre-drug levels as starvation.
  • The rate of current use of illicit drugs among young adults aged 18 to 25 has risen significantly over the past few years, and increased from 19.6 percent in 2008 to 21.2 percent in 2009 and 21.5 percent in 2010.

Poole - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug treatment facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal problems they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment take a closer look at 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 treatment 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.
