Lawrence, Massachusetts - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of attending a drug rehabilitation facility that is specially intended for them. Deciding to go to one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment 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 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 rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
