GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of attending a drug rehabilitation program that is specifically intended 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 work on other emotional and personal problems they are having difficulties 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 shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once rehabilitation 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.
