Facts
- Physical addiction to alcohol occurs in consistently heavy drinkers. Since their bodies have adapted to the presence of alcohol, they suffer alcohol addiction withdrawal symptoms if they suddenly stop drinking.
- Research indicates that a brain process known as long-term potentiating, or LTP, has been shown to be blocked in the brains of rats who were given as little as a single dose of morphine, which continued to be blocked 24 hours later in some instances.
- 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.
- Many children of alcoholics and children of drug addicts will enter the foster care system at a very young age.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug treatment center that is specifically intended for them. Choosing to enroll into one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties 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 shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
