Due to a number of influences, drug addiction is prevalent among the GLBTQ population. Whether an individual turns to drugs in an effort to deal with the self-imposed shame of being gay or they use the drugs to feel accepted at certain drug-themed gay nightclubs, the reality is the GLBTQ community needs gay-friendly drug addiction treatment centers sensitive to their issues.

Traditionally, drug rehab centers have been geared toward the heterosexual population with the GLBTQ community asked to try and fit in. But when a gay man or woman would seek help in these programs, they were often met with prejudice or disrespect. Ultimately, they would end up foregoing their rehabilitation. It's for this very reason that Freedom Rings in Lakeview was started.
