More About LGBTQ+ Treatment

A significant amount of research has concluded that the LGBTQ+ community is at higher risk for drug and alcohol abuse than the general population.  Furthermore, gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people continue to face discrimination, judgment, stigmatization, and bias.  These societal factors can further exacerbate mental health and substance abuse issues.  Additional factors that can be detrimental to the LGBTQ+ community are rejection from family, violence perpetrated as a result of their sexual orientation or gender identity and loss of child custody.  LGBTQ+ people need a drug and alcohol treatment experience that offers support and understanding of the challenges that they face combined with the knowledge and resources of a proven addiction treatment center.

Judgment Free And Understanding Staff

At Healthy Life we want the LGBTQ+ community to know that we see you, we value you and that help is available and waiting for you here.  You are not alone and you never have to feel as though you are again. Healthy Life seeks to create a space that is safe and welcoming for all, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity. The experienced staff at our outpatient rehab approach LGBTQ+ clients with an awareness and sensitivity that can be lacking at other treatment facilities. We see the potential within you and it would be our privilege to help you discover that passion and joy again.
