Addiction Treatment for the LGBTQ+ Community
Recovery Unplugged fully understands the unique obstacles that members of the LGBTQ+ community face in their daily lives and how they can often lead to addiction. We're ready to help you take your life back and get peace of mind and balanced mental health.
COMPASSIONATE, EFFECTIVE, AND IDENTITY-AFFIRMING CARE
If you’re a member of the LGBTQ+ community, you’re undoubtedly aware of how hard it can be to maneuver in this world. If you’re open and out with your sexual identity, you’re frequently viewed as different; if you’ve been afraid to disclose your identity to the people around you, there’s constant anxiety and uneasiness that comes from not being able to reveal your true self. The stigma and judgment that the LGBTQ+ population faces spills over into virtually every area of their life, including their careers, their family relationships, their civil rights, their financial stability and, especially, mental health.
Recovery Unplugged is fully mindful of the daily and long-term stigma, judgment, discrimination, and abuse faced by the LGBTQ+ population. We have developed treatment programs that speak to members’ specific clinical, behavioral, and lifestyle struggles while helping you overcome alcohol and drug abuse.
CONNECTING THE DOTS: MISTREATMENT, MENTAL HEALTH, AND ADDICTION IN THE LGBTQ+ COMMUNITY
Whether you realize it or not, these structural and systemic obstacles have made you and other members of the LGBTQ+ population more vulnerable to mental health issues and substance abuse. Those who identify in the “sexual minority” are twice as likely to have used illicit drugs in the past year and federal data indicates that members of the members of the LGBTQ+ population are significantly more likely to develop substance use disorder (SUD) compared to the rest of the population.
