Gays and Lesbians may sometimes have special treatment requirements when partaking in substance abuse treatment. A specialized program and drug rehab setting which helps address the particular needs of gays and lesbians is accessible in certain drug treatment centers throughout the Washington area which recognize the particular needs and problems which gays and lesbians in Washington will experience during recovery. LGBT in Washington can become fully rehabilitated in the same way as any other client in treatment, although it is beneficial for gays and lesbians to be in a supportive environment while in drug and alcohol rehabilitation which won't discriminate against them or alienate them because of their sexual preference.
