Cantwell, Alaska - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug rehab center that is specially intended for them. Deciding to attend one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also handle other emotional and personal issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with isolation, shame, 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.
