Bellwood - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug treatment program that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with 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 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 stronger about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
