GET HELP LOCATING A DRUG TREATMENT PROGRAM
Gays and lesbians who are having problems with drug abuse have the choice of going to a drug treatment center that is specifically intended for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to enroll into one of these programs is a great first step towards recovery. While in treatment recovering addicts not only address their issues with drugs and/or alcohol but also work on other emotional and personal issues they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment take a closer look at 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 more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
