Tarentum, Pennsylvania - Gays and Lesbians

Gays and lesbians who develop problems with drugs and alcohol have the option of attending a drug treatment facility that is specifically designed for gays or lesbians. Making the decision to attend one of these programs is an excellent 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 problems they are struggling with. Gays and Lesbians in treatment examine how their destructive behavior was a result of inner feelings left unresolved. Counseling and/or therapy aids in resolving issues with shame, Isolation, feelings of rejection, discomfort in one's own skin, etc. Once treatment is complete they will be able to feel more secure about who they are and know that drugs and alcohol is not the solution.
