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.
