GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drug addiction have the choice of going to a drug rehabilitation program that is specifically intended for them. Deciding to enroll into one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their issues 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 aids 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 stronger about who they are and be able to live happily without the desire to use drugs.
