East Boston, MA. - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug treatment facility that is specially designed for them.

Gays and Lesbians in recovery examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved.
