LGBTQ+ Affirming Treatment Program
We connect LGBTQ+ individuals with affirming, inclusive addiction treatment programs staffed by clinicians trained in gender identity and sexual orientation issues. A safe space where you can heal as your authentic self.
Understanding LGBTQ+ Recovery Needs
Members of the LGBTQ+ community face disproportionately high rates of substance use disorders, driven by a lifetime of navigating stigma, discrimination, harassment, and, in many cases, abuse or family rejection. The resulting lack of social support, internalized shame, and emotional isolation can make individuals particularly vulnerable to using substances as a coping mechanism.
Our LGBTQ+ program provides a genuinely affirming therapeutic environment staffed by clinicians with specific training in gender identity and sexual orientation issues. Treatment addresses the unique social, emotional, and psychological challenges our LGBTQ+ clients face -- including minority stress, coming-out trauma, relationship dynamics, and identity exploration -- within a community of peers who share similar lived experiences.
Challenges We Address
Our treatment goes beyond standard addiction care to address the root causes and contributing factors that are unique to the LGBTQ+ experience. We create space for exploring how identity, relationships, and societal pressures intersect with substance use.
