Facts

  • Students at smaller colleges tend to consume more alcohol than students at larger schools.
  • Many school districts in the United States have begun to test for abuse of illicit drugs, including steroids, and studies are currently underway to determine whether such testing reduces drug abuse.
  • Products such as glues, nail polish remover, lighter fluid, spray paints, deodorant and hair sprays, whipped cream canisters, and cleaning fluids are often inhaled to get high.
  • The ritual for snorting cocaine is to place a line of the drug about 0.3 cm wide by 2.5 cm long on a smooth surface. The powder is then inhaled quickly into a nostril through a plastic or glass straw or a rolled currency bill; a ritual which usually repeated within a few minutes using the other nostril.

Gays and Lesbians - Woodstock, Illinois

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of going to a drug treatment program that is specifically intended for them. Choosing to enroll into 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 address other emotional and personal problems they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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 rehabilitation 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.
