Maringouin - Gays and LesbiansGays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the choice of attending a drug rehab facility that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is a very good 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 problems they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery take a closer look at how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved.
