LGBTQ+
Recovery from substance use within the LGBTQ+ community presents unique challenges and opportunities for growth. Many individuals in this community face higher rates of substance use due to experiences of discrimination, stigma, and marginalization, which can compound stress and emotional pain. Recovery programs that are inclusive and affirming of LGBTQ+ identities are crucial in providing a supportive environment where individuals feel understood and respected. Such programs often incorporate culturally competent care, addressing specific issues like coming out, internalized homophobia, and the impact of societal pressures. Peer support networks within the LGBTQ+ community also play a vital role, offering shared experiences and solidarity. By creating safe spaces that honor LGBTQ+ identities and experiences, recovery programs can help individuals build a strong foundation for healing, self-acceptance, and long-term sobriety.

What We Offer
Why Seek Treatment
EMDR Therapy
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) can be particularly beneficial for LGBTQ+ individuals in recovery from substance abuse, as it addresses both trauma and the complex layers of identity-related stress. For many LGBTQ+ people, experiences of discrimination, internalized stigma, or trauma related to their sexual orientation or gender identity can contribute to substance use as a coping mechanism. EMDR helps by processing these traumatic memories and reducing their emotional charge, thereby breaking the cycle of substance dependence. By addressing the root causes of trauma and helping individuals develop healthier coping strategies, EMDR can promote more sustainable recovery and foster a stronger sense of self, ultimately supporting LGBTQ+ individuals in leading more fulfilling and authentic lives.
Medical Treatment
Medications are accessible to alleviate the discomfort of detox and deter alcohol cravings, available in oral or injectable forms. Medical interventions are also accessible to address additional health issues linked to addiction.
Throughout Treatment
Healthcare providers vigilantly oversee the administration of medications during addiction treatment. Vivitrol, an injectable medication, helps prevent relapse by inhibiting the release of dopamine thereby reducing cravings and the urge to use. It is commonly used post-detox during the stabilization phase.
Residential Treatment
Following the initial detoxification phase, numerous patients attain stability. Subsequently, they may transition into residential treatment, particularly beneficial for individuals at high risk of relapse.
Residential treatment programs can span from several weeks to several months, tailored to the specific needs of each patient. During inpatient treatment, patients reside in a rehabilitation facility where they receive continuous support and comprehensive therapy. This environment ensures safety, shielding patients from negative influences or triggers that could provoke a return to active addiction.
Private and Semi Private Rooms Available
Private and semi-private rooms in substance abuse treatment facilities offer a range of benefits that enhance the overall recovery experience. Private rooms provide individuals with a personal space to retreat and reflect, which can be crucial for managing the stress and emotional challenges of recovery. This solitude allows for greater privacy, personal comfort, and the opportunity to focus on self-care and introspection without the distractions or disturbances that might occur in a shared environment. Semi-private rooms, on the other hand, strike a balance between privacy and social support, offering a more communal atmosphere while still allowing for personal space. Both options help to create a supportive and individualized treatment environment, reducing feelings of isolation and fostering a sense of security, which can significantly improve engagement with the therapeutic process and enhance overall recovery outcomes.
