Gays and Lesbians can sometimes have diverse rehab needs when receiving substance abuse treatment. A tailored curriculum and rehab environment which helps address the needs of gays and lesbians is accessible in certain drug and alcohol rehabilitation facilities throughout the Mendocino area which acknowledge the particular needs and problems which gays and lesbians in Mendocino will experience during recovery. LGBT in Mendocino can be fully rehabilitated like any other client in rehab, though it is helpful for gays and lesbians to be in an environment which provides superior service while in drug treatment which won't discriminate against them or alienate them due to their sexual preference.
