You deserve more than a program that “tolerates” the LGBTQ population. You need a drug rehab program that understands the challenges that people in the community are facing. The rehab should be prepared to address those challenges proactively. This can come in the form of groups or therapies designed specifically for the gay or trans population or in substance abuse treatment professionals on staff who are trained to assist LGBTQ clients with whatever comes up for them during the detox and addiction treatment process.For many people in recovery, childhood experiences, trauma, and difficult relationships often play a role in the development of addiction, and that is true as well for LGBTQ clients. You need to feel comfortable talking about what you have experienced and know that the therapists that you work with will be equipped to respond with knowledgeable guidance and support.
