Nearby cities to compare

Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

Trauma-informed care

Many people in treatment have lived through trauma, and for LGBTQ people that can include bullying, violence or rejection. Trauma-informed programs try to avoid re-traumatizing clients and build in therapy that addresses those experiences.
