Gay & Lesbian Drug Alcohol Interventions

Welcome to Out Addiction Interventions
Research has shown that the impact of homophobia, prejudice and discrimination experienced by the gay and lesbian population is reflected in one way by a higher than average incidence of drug addiction, alcoholism and even suicide.

Shame has been identified as a major component in one's addiction. Many in the gay community have faced and internalized shame throughout their lives, adding to the emotional burden on which substance abuse thrives. We recognize that the addiction cycle is already riddled with fear and turmoil. The road to recovery should begin with a step away from fear, and for many in the gay community a gay-friendly atmosphere is a vital first step to casting away the burden of their tumultuous past.

At Out Interventions we exclusively do drug interventions for the gay community and only list gay and lesbian friendly drug treatment centers (GLBT Friendly). So much of an addicts' life involves not “fitting in,” the journey to recovery should show that there is help in a group of your peers. Our tailored intervention process for the GLBT population helps rid the chemically dependent of any shame, so that all productive energy can be channeled into the recovery process. It is essential to the success of treatment that the addict feels safe in their decision. By dealing strictly with gay clientele and connecting them with treatment resources solely for the Gay and Lesbian community, we attend to this level of safety by ensuring that at all points in the process there is the support of a true peer group. At Out Interventions the process will be just that! Break the addiction cycle! Get Help Now.
