Drug addiction treatment for the gay and lesbian community needs to designed to handle the possible medical problems that accompany “high risk behavior”. While under the influence of crystal meth or other decision impairing drugs, high risk behavior can lead to STD (sexually transmitted diseases) or HIV.

These illness’s, HIV and STD, are higher among the LGBT community than the general population so a drug addiction treatment program must be able to provide effective treatment for either of these illness. Any gay friendly drug rehab should be questioned regarding the quality of their medical compnent before admission.

Don’t get me wrong, HIV and STD’s are alive and well among the heterosexual community, maybe not as prevalent. Be careful and when looking for a drug rehab, along with questioning their medical abilities, don’t be afraid to ask for the drug addiction treatment program medical director’s credentials.
