Palmyra - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of attending a drug rehab program that is specially designed for them.

During rehabilitation 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.
