GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug rehabilitation facility that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to enroll into one of these programs is an excellent 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 struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in recovery 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.
