Gays and Lesbians - Alexandria

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of attending a drug treatment facility that is specifically intended for them. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is a great 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 recovery take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, 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.
