Facts
- When cocaine is smoked the high may last only five to 10 minutes, causing the user to want more cocaine more often to try to maintain that high.
- The District of Columbia has the highest rate of annual cocaine use (3.7 percent) among persons aged 26 or older in the nation.
- PCP users may sometimes become violent or suicidal, and are very dangerous to themselves and to others.
- The excessive release of dopamine and stimulation of the brain and central nervous system's natural reward system as a result of opiate use is what leads to addiction.
Gays and Lesbians - Winnetka, IllinoisGays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug rehab center that is specifically intended for them. Deciding to attend one of these programs is a great 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 having difficulties 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, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
