GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug treatment center that is specially intended for them. Choosing to attend one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle 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 helps in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
