  • Slang terms for cocaine which are commonly used are coke, snow, flake, and blow.
  • The THC in hashish interferes with learning and memory processes because of its effects on the hippocampus, a part of the brain which is critical for certain types of learning.

Shelbyville, IL. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the option of attending a drug treatment facility that is specifically designed for them. Choosing to attend one of these programs is an excellent 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 recovery take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, 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.
