Gays and Lesbians - Cardin

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug rehab facility that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on 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 helps in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, 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.
