Rockport, Massachusetts - Gays and LesbiansGays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the choice of attending a drug rehabilitation facility that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is a very good first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only deal with their problems with drugs and/or alcohol but also address other emotional and personal issues they are having difficulties with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved.
