Facts

  • The criminal justice system refers drug offenders into drug treatment in a variety of ways, including diverting nonviolent offenders to treatment; stipulating treatment as a condition of incarceration, probation, or pretrial release; and holding specialized courts, or drug courts that handle drug offenders.

Philpot - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the option of attending a drug treatment facility that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to go to 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 work on other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties 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 helps 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 more secure about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
