Facts

  • Research indicates that when compared with individuals not involved in drug abuse and addiction, substance-abusing employees are more likely to change jobs more often, be tardy or absent from work, be less productive, be involved in more accidents, file workers' compensation claims
  • Because of the painful physical and mental consequences of cocaine withdrawal, relapsing back into cocaine abuse is very common because the user feels that using cocaine to avoid withdrawal will work.
  • Long-term methamphetamine users often lose their ability to relate to others socially.
  • Opiates interfere with the transmission of pain messages in the spinal cord, preventing them from reaching the brain and resulting in pain relief.

Port Angeles, Washington - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug rehab facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their issues 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 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 stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
