Pride Recovery Los Angeles EGI Pride Recovery LA provides addiction treatment for our LGBT community, through LGBT-affirmative therapy, group and individual therapy, and psychiatric care Why?

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), reports that LGBTQ people are about 30% more likely than members of the general population to suffer from addiction. Not only that, LGBTQ people who go to traditional treatment for their addiction have a recovery rate that is 60% lower than non-LGBTQ people who access that same treatment. That’s why we need LGBTQ-specific trea

tment, not only for drug/alcohol addiction, but for all substance and behavior addictions. The reason? Shame. They say that addiction is a boat floating on a sea of shame. This is even more true for LGBTQ people, who have developed selves against a backdrop of shame-driven secrecy and coded interaction. Because we had to. Because for us, the world has been rejecting at best and dangerous at worst. But the strategies that have helped us survive, including our addictions, are now keeping us from authentic connection, connection that is at the heart of finding sustainable recovery. That’s why we need to work with other LGBTQ people to create sober lives worth living. At Pride Recovery LA, we’re here to address shame and build pride. Pride in Self. Pride in Sobriety. Pride in Community.

WHY DOES LGBTQ-SPECIFIC TREATMENT MATTER?
Under the best of circumstances, Le***an, Gay, Bis*xual, Transgender, Q***r (LGBTQ) people are “accepted” or “included” or “allowed.” In other words, LGBTQ people are outsiders everywhere they go. Unlike members of other minority communities, LGBTQ folk aren’t even guaranteed inclusion in their own families. To live with this burden day in and day out is to live with a traumatic injury, a traumatic injury that many treat with things like alcohol, drugs, food, shopping, and the compulsive pursuit of s*x and love.

Studies have shown that, when compared with the general population, gay and bis*xual men, le***an, and transgender individuals are more likely to:

Use alcohol and drugs,
Have higher rates of substance abuse,
Not withhold from alcohol and drug use, and continue heavy drinking into later life.

Alcohol and drug use among some gay and bis*xual men can be a reaction to homophobia, discrimination, or violence they experienced due to their s*xual orientation and can contribute to other mental health and physical problems. It can disrupt relationships, employment, and threaten financial stability.

For some gay and bis*xual men, alcohol and illegal drug use, especially m**hamphetamines (m**h), amyl nitrates (poppers), and drugs used to treat erectile dysfunction (when a man has a hard time keeping an er****on during s*x), also contribute to a higher chance of getting HIV and other STDs. Persons using drugs or alcohol may also raise their chances of getting HIV or giving it to others by getting involved in more risky s*xual practices and behaviors or through sharing needles or other injection equipment.

If you or someone you know has a problem with alcohol or drug addiction and needs help call 844-303-5551. LGBTQ specific substance abuse treatment is available.
