Lakeview Freedom Rings recognizes that alcoholism a treatable disease. By combining a traditional 12-step program with innovative holistic strategies, we provide the best of both treatment models.

12-Step Alcohol Treatment Centers

The original 12-step program as set forth by Alcoholics Anonymous has been adopted by Lakeview Health and many other alcohol and addiction treatment centers. The American Psychological Association bases the 12 steps on the following:

• Admitting one cannot control his or her own addiction.
• Recognizing that a higher power, "God" or a client's community, can give great strength.
• Addressing past and current behavior and making amends for errors.
• Learning to live a new life with new behaviors.
• Helping others who are still suffering.

The Need for Gay-Specific Alcohol Treatment Centers

There has been a great need for alcohol treatment centers that specialize in treating the gay population. Early studies of substance and alcohol abuse revealed that the GLBT community has a higher percentage of alcohol abusers than their heterosexual counterparts.

Studies also have found that nearly 30 percent of the lesbian population in the U.S. has an alcohol abuse problem. Freedom Rings helps gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender or questioning clients recover from their abuse and dependency in a safe, non-judgmental environment. We provide a supportive place where clients have the freedom to express their personal concerns related to coming out, homophobia, heterosexism and sexual orientation.
