Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug treatment program that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal problems they are struggling 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 shame, Isolation, 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.
