It can be difficult enough being gay, but add to that a drug addiction, and life can be extremely challenging. In fact, it's not uncommon for gay men and women to refuse admission into a drug treatment facility because of concerns about prejudice, disrespect and outright hatred.

Freedom Rings: A True Gay-Friendly Drug Treatment Center

Freedom Rings at Lakeview Health was created to meet the demand for a gay-friendly drug treatment center. But, while the intent was to create one of the best gay drug treatment programs in the nation, what really happened was that we created one of the best drug treatment centers period! From our modern detox center to our holistic services to our aftercare program, Freedom Rings provides a safe and supportive recovery experience for GLBTQ patients from admission to discharge and beyond.

Choosing Gay-Friendly Drug Treatment

The description of "gay-friendly" drug treatment has nothing to do with whether or not a center likes gay men and women. By calling itself "gay-friendly," a drug treatment center has the ability and staff to effectively provide treatment for the GLBTQ community.

While of course we (and many others in the field) believe that Freedom Rings is an exceptional drug treatment center, we realize that you'll probably want to compare and research different programs. We encourage this! After all, recovery can only happy in an environment that meets your individual medical, psychiatric, emotional and financial needs.

When comparing drug treatment centers, we suggest that you ask the admission personnel at each center the following questions. This can narrow down your search and help you in the decision-making process.

• Is the staff providing drug treatment licensed and how much experience do they have?
• Is the drug treatment center accredited by the J.C.A.H.O.?
• Is the physician certified by the American Society of Addiction Medicine?
• Is there a specific drug treatment component for the GLBTQ community and what does it entail?
• Is detox provided at the treatment facility?
• Does the treatment facility accept health insurance?
• Does the treatment include art therapy and recreational therapy?
• Does the drug treatment center provide you with a Family Recovery Program?
• Does the drug treatment center have recovery residences?
