Gay Addiction Treatment Services

There has been great progress in the quality and scope of addiction treatment services over the past decade. One improvement is in the area of addiction treatment services for the GLBT community.

Lakeview Health System's Freedom Rings is one of the leading gay addiction treatment centers in the country. It offers cutting-edge treatment in the areas of addiction and dual diagnosis recovery. Committed to delivering excellent, nationally-recognized and effective treatment to the GLBT community, Lakeview's Freedom Rings is looked upon by many more traditional rehabilitation programs as a leader in the field.

Lakeview's Gay Addiction Treatment Philosophy

Lakeview's Freedom Rings believes that those in the GLBT community who suffer from a drug or alcohol addiction should receive the same opportunity to recover as anyone else. As such, Lakeview offers an environment free from homophobic attitudes, with a staff that embraces the individual's sexual preference.

Additionally, Freedom Rings believes in treating the "whole person," not just the surface symptoms of an addiction. By this, we mean that within our addiction treatment services, we also tackle the reasons why the addiction may have occurred in the first place. Unfortunately, many patients with addictions have suffered from sexual abuse or trauma, poor self-image, low self-worth and other detrimental experiences in their lifetime. Our certified counselors, physicians and therapists get to the root of your condition and help to heal you from the inside out. Some of our innovative addiction treatment services and programs include:

• Medical detox
• Psychiatric stabilization
• Drug rehab 
• Alcohol rehab
• Dual diagnosis treatment
• Nutritional balance
• Emotional healing
• Trauma workshop
• Family program and relationship workshop
• Relapse prevention planning
• Spiritual development
• Recreation

Lakeview's Dual Diagnosis Gay Addiction Treatment Programs

Studies have shown that over 60 percent of the GLBT community entering alcohol or drug treatment programs suffer from a co-occurring mental health condition. This is referred to as "dual diagnosis." Our dual diagnosis addiction treatment services include help for mental health issues such as:

• Anxiety
• Depression
• Bi-polar disorder
• Post traumatic stress disorder

The staff at Freedom Rings believes it is imperative that both the substance abuse and mental health issues be addressed while the person is in rehabilitation in order for the treatment to offer the best opportunity for recovery.
