Verified by Psychology TodayWhy LGBTQ+ People Face a Higher Risk of Addiction
Social stigma, discrimination and isolation put members of the LGBTQ+ community at higher risk of addiction. Addiction is a mental health disorder that can affect anyone, and it drives harmful behavior that continues despite the wish to stop and the risk to health.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), people who identify as LGBTQ often face social stigma, discrimination, harassment and violence not encountered by people who identify as heterosexual, and these stressors raise the risk of behavioral health issues among sexual minorities.
Still Detox welcomes LGBTQ+ adults addicted to alcohol, prescription or illegal opioids, cocaine and other substances, with treatment personalized to each person's history, family background and relationships.
LGBTQ+ affirming care is still hard to find: a 2020 study by Williams and colleagues, published by the National Institutes of Health, found that only 17.6 percent of substance use treatment facilities reported LGBT-specific programs.

How LGBTQ+ Affirming Addiction Treatment Works
LGBTQ+ affirming treatment is led by therapists attuned to the community's needs, building trust and open communication from the first session.
Individual Therapy
Therapists work one-on-one with each client to uncover the specific causes of substance use and build coping skills for negative behaviors and triggers.
Group Therapy
Group sessions give clients a secure, supportive space to practice communication and discuss relevant topics with peers.
Medication Support
For severe addiction, medication eases withdrawal symptoms, cravings and accompanying depression or anxiety.
Individualized Care for Transgender Clients
Still Detox is a co-ed facility with an individualized approach for transgender clients that follows federal guidelines.
Plans That Evolve
Each LGBTQ+ client's treatment plan is updated continuously to reflect progress and changing needs.
Recovery therapies in LGBTQ+ affirming treatment at Still Detox include:

Assessment
Skilled clinicians complete a full health assessment covering the severity of symptoms, how long substances have been used and any co-occurring mental health conditions, treated through dual diagnosis treatment, to set the right level of care.
Medical Detox and Medication Management
Medical staff give medication to ease withdrawal symptoms and cravings, monitor progress and reduce medication gradually as symptoms improve.
Group and Individual Therapy
Group and individual sessions help clients talk through their experiences, understand their symptoms and learn coping strategies that prevent relapse, while group work builds peer support and community.

My daughter has been in and out of detox, rehab, residential, and PHP for years - with serious substance abuse and mental health conditions. This time around was the first time she made the decision fully on her own, contacted a facility, and was admitted into Still Detox. When I say we've dealt with many facilities, it's a gross understatement. But the team at Still Detox - her therapist Josh specifically - have made an impact on my daughter that we didn't think was possible. Josh has been communicative with me on my daughters progress, and has helped her with grounding techniques for dealing with acute PTSD and dual-diagnosis challenges. She's learning to self-soothe, and for the first time is genuinely putting all of her efforts into taking full advantage of this journey. She has just completed the program, and they assisted in finding a phenomenal facility for her to begin PHP. Just a reminder - no matter how much we love our family members, we can't make the decision for them to change, they have to do it on their own. When the time comes, I strongly encourage you to look into Still Detox as the first step. Sincerely, A grateful Mom![]()

Still Detox has been a lifesaver for me and helped me detox from alcohol. The facility is very clean and offers 3 catered meals daily and offer plenty of snacks.

I can’t say enough nice things about this place. The staff here is wonderful; Whitney, Josh, Sam, Kim, Derrick, Elena, Gladys, Dr. Martinez, Mark, et al. When issues come up, as they always will in a rehab situation, things were always handled professionally. The staff here genuinely believes in what they’re doing. The trip down here was totally worth it for the top level of care I received. Would recommend to anyone struggling with an addiction. If you are please reach out to them or someone you trust.
