Facts

  • Out of the nearly 2 million substance abuse treatment admissions reported to State administrative data systems in 2008, most (41.4 percent) involved alcohol abuse.
  • Studies indicate that most inhalants are extremely toxic and that "huffing" can often have fatal consequences.
  • Therapeutic Communities have recently expanded their role and are now being designed to accommodate the needs of women who are pregnant or have children.
  • Rapid opiate detoxification to treat opiate withdrawal can be performed in a hospital or private clinic setting using a drug such as Naltrexone, an opiate antagonist that blocks opiate receptors and reverses the effects of opiates. Clonidine is administered at the same time to ease the symptoms of withdrawal.

Gays and Lesbians - Westside, IA.

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug treatment program that is specifically designed for them. Choosing to enroll into 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 work on other emotional and personal issues they are struggling 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, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
