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.
Why LGBTQ-specific care can matter
Research summarized by the National Institute on Drug Abuse finds that sexual and gender minority people report higher rates of substance use and substance use disorders than the general population. Researchers often explain the gap with minority stress: the extra, ongoing strain of stigma, discrimination and having to stay on guard.
A program with an LGBTQ group gives you a place to talk about those pressures with people who share them, instead of working around them.
Residential or outpatient?
The right level of care depends on how much you use, your health, your living situation and past attempts to stop. A program's intake assessment, usually based on ASAM criteria, will recommend a starting level.
Outpatient treatment near Norfolk
Not every situation calls for a residential stay. We list 5 programs within 25 miles of Norfolk that report intensive outpatient, day treatment or regular outpatient services. Outpatient care works best when home is stable and supportive; it's also the usual next step after residential treatment.
