Substance Abuse and Treatment Needs in the LGBTQ+ Community
Extensive research tells us that the LGBTQ+ community is at a substantially higher risk of substance use disorders.
Statistics indicate that approximately 21.8% of adults identifying as lesbian, gay, or bisexual had experienced an alcohol use disorder in the past year in 2020, whereas this was only the case for 11% of the general population. Similarly, around 6.7% of lesbian, gay, or bisexual adults had misused Opioids in the past year, but the same was true for only about 3.6% of the general population.
In addition to higher rates of substance abuse, the LGBTQ+ community faces an increased likelihood of many other mental health conditions. Accordingly, individuals should be screened for other mental disorders, such as depression and PTSD, to ensure the best treatment outcomes. Centric Behavioral Health provides dual-diagnosis treatment programs for clients with a substance use disorder and at least one other mental health concern.

How Different Levels of Care Support the Recovery Process in LGBTQIA+ Individuals
While LGBTQ+ identifying people are more likely to experience substance use disorders, it is also true that treatment centers offering affirming treatment are associated with better outcomes. That is part of what makes our LGBTQ+ addiction treatment special. It’s crucial to have the chance to let your guard down and put in the work in treatment as your authentic self. Our treatment program offerings include the levels of care listed below. Some of our clients attend just one level of care, whereas others engage in a combination at different points in time. If you’re not sure which level of care you should start with, our admissions team will help you decide. This will inform which of our treatment centers you attend.
Getting off of drugs and alcohol can be uncomfortable due to withdrawal symptoms. Detoxification (detox) programs help clients get off of drugs and alcohol safely. The detox programs at Centric Behavioral Health are here to help you get off substances in a supervised medical environment and ease discomfort during the process. Detoxification programs are short-term and can be a precursor to other treatment programs, such as inpatient programs, though not always.
Inpatient programs are the most intensive types of addiction treatment. When you’re in an inpatient rehab center, you sleep, live, and eat at your treatment facility for the duration of the program. At Centric Behavioral Health, inpatient programs include extensive group therapy in addition to individual therapy, recreation activities, and other treatments. Many clients favor inpatient treatment programs as a starting point because it gives them an opportunity to step away from daily life temporarily while developing a toolkit of skills to help them cope with and navigate obstacles after their program.
Partial hospitalization programs (PHP) are one step below inpatient care in intensity and provide the highest level of support one can get without being in inpatient treatment. When you enter a partial hospitalization program at Centric Behavioral Health, you’ll engage in treatment on-campus five days a week for 6-8 hours each day. Treatment activities in PHP are similar to those in our inpatient programs, including extensive group and individual therapy. However, you will live off-campus outside of treatment hours during PHP, whether in our supportive housing facilities or somewhere else.
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) at Centric Behavioral Health are less intensive than PHP and require a lower time commitment than PHP does. IOP includes 12-15 hours of therapy groups each week and a once-weekly individual therapy session. Attending an intensive outpatient program at Centric Behavioral Health is ideal for those who require optimal flexibility while in treatment or are stepping down from a higher level of care. Like PHP, clients in an intensive outpatient program or any other type of outpatient care at Centric Behavioral Health will live off-campus.
In addition to PHP and IOP, Centric Behavioral Health provides an array of other outpatient services to support your healing process. While it’s not an extensive list, support groups, continued therapy, and medication-assisted treatment (MAT) are all examples of the types of outpatient care we offer. Usually, these are step-down forms of treatment that aid the healing process because they let you transition from higher levels of care back into daily life, but again, with new skills.
Every treatment program we offer includes aftercare planning. Aftercare planning helps set you up for success post-treatment and may involve looking for support groups, medication management, LGBTQ+ affirming therapy options, or supportive housing, depending on who you are. At Centric Behavioral Health, clients in every level of care will create an aftercare plan with staff members before graduating from their treatment program.
Finding Addiction Treatment for Women
There are barriers to treatment for women that men don’t experience, or at least not as significantly.
One is the worry about leaving behind family. Women are often primary caretakers for their children and family, so they worry about being able to leave for rehab. Another barrier to getting treatment for women is that they worry about how people will perceive them and how it will affect things like child custody.
Women tend to progress more quickly to full-blown addiction than men after using a substance, and their withdrawal symptoms may be more intense.
Addiction treatment for women needs to include all of these considerations. Treatment programs should integrate parenting classes, job training, and other programs specific to the needs of women.
Women also respond more to supportive therapy than other approaches.
