GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug addiction have the option of going to a drug rehabilitation program that is specially designed for gays or lesbians. Deciding to attend one of these programs is an excellent first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address 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 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.
