Facts

  • The active ingredient in drinking alcohol is ethanol or ethyl alcohol, which is considered to be a sedative and affects the brain the same way as other sedative-hypnotic drugs, like Valium and barbiturates.
  • The likelihood of being killed in single-vehicle crashes increases dramatically at a blood alcohol level that a 140-lb. woman would reach after having one drink on an empty stomach.
  • While abuse of OxyContin was once seen as a "white-collar" addiction, this problem has been on the rise among all ethnic and economic groups.
  • Opioid and opiate overdoses in the U.S., once almost always heroin-related, are now more commonly as result of abuse of prescription painkillers.

Gays and Lesbians - Houghton Lake, MI.

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug rehabilitation program that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to enroll into one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address 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 aids 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.
