Burkesville, Kentucky - Gays and LesbiansGays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug rehab program that is specifically designed for them.

Gays and Lesbians in treatment take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved.
