- Pre-school aged children of alcoholics are more likely to exhibit poorer language and reasoning skills than their peers whose parents were not alcoholics, mainly due to the lower quality of stimulation present in the home of children of alcoholics.
- Sleeping pill withdrawal, in at least some individuals, may result in increased tension and anxiety during the day.
- Opioid and opiate overdoses in the U.S., once almost always heroin-related, are now more commonly as result of abuse of prescription painkillers.
GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of attending a drug treatment facility that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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 rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel stronger about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
