Being Gay and Needing Substance Abuse Treatment

Whether straight or gay, substance abuse treatment needs to be initiated before the condition progresses into an addiction. But for years, the GLBT community had no voice in the arena of drug and alcohol rehabilitation. Most treatment facilities were designed implicitly around the heterosexual population, sometimes making it very difficult for a gay man or woman to feel comfortable in such a surrounding.

At Lakeview, we understand the complexities of being gay and needing substance abuse treatment. That's why we created our innovative gay substance abuse treatment program called Freedom Rings. The remarkable thing is that Freedom Rings is not only the best gay substance abuse treatment facility in the nation, it's recognized as one of the best programs in general!

Gay Substance Abuse Treatment and Our Levels of Care

As a leader in the field of gay-friendly substance abuse treatment, Lakeview's Freedom Rings, offers members of the gay and lesbian community several levels of care. By providing such comprehensive treatment, we greatly increase the quality of our care, while lowering the likelihood of relapse. Some of the levels of care offered we offer in our substance abuse treatment are as follows;

Substance Abuse Treatment Detox - Our detox program provides the patient with medical stabilization and management their withdrawal symptoms. Along with the medical management provided in detox, we provide each patient with a professional evaluation to determine their need for residential substance abuse treatment.

Residential Treatment for Substance Abuse - Residential substance abuse treatment indicates a need for 24-hour care with medical supervision. Each patient in our residential treatment program will participate in a variety of clinical services focused on maintaining continuous recovery. Research has shown that most people who do not transition into a residential treatment program after completing detox often end up in relapse. This is a direct reflection on the severity of this illness.

Day Treatment for Substance Abuse - Day treatment is a level of care where the individual completing residential substance abuse treatment is healthy enough to return home and attend continued treatment during the day or evening.

Intensive Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment - This type of substance abuse treatment is really a step down or gradual transition from day treatment. Our ability to slowly "step" patients down eases their transition back into community. We find that this alleviates the patient's stress, while providing them time to practice their relapse prevention skills.

Substance Abuse Treatment and Aftercare Services - Our aftercare services provides our patients with continual support after discharge from substance abuse treatment. Prior to discharge from the Freedom Rings facility, every patient will participate in the design of their own discharge plan. You can count on our discharge planner being in touch with each patient for one year post-discharge.

In addition to our treatment continuum, we provide numerous clinical activities within each level of care such as relapse prevention, individualized treatment planning, dual diagnosis treatment and specialized substance abuse treatment for the GLBT community. At Freedom Rings, we employ a complete professional staff trained and experienced in the needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender, making us the leader in quality gay substance abuse treatment.
