Gays and Lesbians - Schoharie

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of attending a drug treatment facility that is specially designed for them. Deciding to attend one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also address 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 aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
