Gays and Lesbians can sometimes have unique treatment needs when receiving substance abuse rehabilitation. A specialized curriculum and treatment setting which is conducive to the needs of gays and lesbians is offered at certain drug treatment facilities around the country which understand the unique needs and challenges which gays and lesbians will encounter during recovery.
