Facts

  • When Coca was first introduced the alkaloid cocaine was isolated, and it was used in medicine for its medicinal effects on depression, alcohol and morphine addiction, fatigue, and as a local anesthetic. The result was addiction and dependency to cocaine and its use in medicine was discontinued.
  • The strongest predictors of adolescent marijuana use are the individual's beliefs and values regarding the use of marijuana and association with marijuana-using peers.
  • Research indicates that, like cocaine and other abused drugs, opiates activate the brain's reward system causing pain relief, a sense of euphoria and pleasure.
  • Studies of young and adolescent users of Ecstasy found that 43 percent were classified as dependant to the drug, as evidenced by continued use despite knowledge of physical or psychological harm, withdrawal effects, and tolerance.

Tefft - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of attending a drug rehabilitation center that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to go to one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal problems 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 helps in resolving issues with isolation, shame, 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 be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
