GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the choice of going to a drug treatment program that is specially intended for gays or lesbians. Choosing to go to one of these programs is a great 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 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, discomfort in one's own skin, feelings of rejection, etc. Once rehabilitation is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
