GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug treatment center that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. During rehabilitation recovering addicts not only address their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties 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 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 know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
