Facts
- When an individual is tripping on LSD, their thoughts may seem clear and profound but their thoughts can also race rapidly without logic.
- There were nearly 2 million treatment admissions for alcoholism in 2006, accounting for all facilities that report to state administrative data systems, making the actual number greater.
- Research indicates that past year rates of LSD use among college students, young adults, and eighth, tenth, and twelfth graders show a sharp decrease over the last ten years.
- The withdrawal symptoms associated with amphetamines are magnified in chronic users who abruptly stop taking the drug, which is why it is recommended that individuals addicted to these drugs participate in a residential drug treatment program specializing in this type of withdrawal and addiction treatment.
Poulan - Gays and LesbiansGays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug rehab program that is specially designed for them. Deciding 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 issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with isolation, shame, 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.
