Addiction Recovery in the Gay Community
For quite some time drug addiction recovery in the gay community suffered due to lack of drug addiction services which is ironic because the incidence of drug addiciton in our community is so high. Whether it is due to issues with our sexual orientation or the bar scene we frequent, drug addiction is higher in our community than the heterosexual community.
Today, drug addiction recovery is much higher than it used to be. This is due to an increase in addiction recovery program services across the country that are geared to meet our needs. Addiction recovery programs have integrated sexual orientation groups, as well as, groups focused on homophobia, internalized homophobia and more. After completing the addiction recovery programs, we now have support groups which give us the choice of where to go to bolster our addiction recovery. It is great. I have met a ton of new friends all of who are clean and sober. By staying close and providing support to each other I believe my recovery from addiction will last forever one day at a time.
If you are looking for an addiction recovery program, call the addiction recovery helpline. The addiction recovery helpline is toll free and is available 24/7. The addiction recovery helpline number is 1-800-511-9225.
