LGBTQ Drug Treatment

If you are a member of the LGBTQ+ community, we celebrate your individuality and applaud your boldness in taking this step towards healing. We understand the struggles you had to endure that potentially led you to addiction. Q Space Detox will support you every step of the way with our LGBTQ drug treatment programs.

We work with people recovering from all kinds of substance use: alcohol, cocaine, heroin, ecstasy, meth, GHB, prescription meds, and more. Whatever your history looks like, we can help you write something new.

Major Barriers to LGBTQ Addiction Recovery

For LGBTQ people, the road to healing can be especially complicated. While anyone can struggle with substance use, those in the LGBTQ community often face added obstacles rooted in discrimination, stigma, and systemic barriers. They often have:

Higher Risk of Addiction
Many LGBTQ people use substances to cope with trauma, discrimination, and rejection. The stress of living in environments that do not affirm their identity, combined with social isolation or familial estrangement, can contribute to increased vulnerability to addiction.

Less Likelihood of Seeking Help
Fear of being judged, misgendered, or misunderstood keeps many LGBTQ people from reaching out for support. Some have faced mistreatment in healthcare settings before. Without a strong support system or affirming professionals, the idea of getting help can feel more overwhelming than continuing to use it.

Lack of Insurance Coverage
Insurance is a barrier for many, but it is even more common in the LGBTQ community. LGBTQ people generally have lower access to employer-sponsored healthcare, and inclusive providers are not always guaranteed. Without insurance, treatment becomes an unaffordable option.

Fewer Financial Resources
Due to systemic discrimination, many LGBTQ individuals face wage disparities, unemployment, or underemployment. LGBTQ people often earn less than their heterosexual and cisgender peers, and this financial instability can prevent access to quality care.

Unique Mental Health Needs
Co-occurring mental health disorders like depression, PTSD, and anxiety are common among LGBTQ individuals. They often stem from identity-related stigma and trauma. Yet many programs still treat substance use in isolation, ignoring the LGBTQ-specific emotional roots.

Inclusive LGBTQ Drug Treatment

Q Space Detox knows that as an LGBTQ person, you need a drug treatment program that addresses your specific needs. Past experiences with discrimination or judgment in healthcare settings can make it difficult to ask for help. That’s why we offer care that is safe, affirming, and inclusive for LGBTQ people.

Our LGBTQ-affirming drug treatment programs provide:

• Customized treatment plans that integrate your experiences, identity, and mental health needs
• Focused, LGBTQ-specific group sessions for deeper connection and shared understanding.
• Culturally competent care from licensed clinicians trained in both addiction and mental health
• Supportive environments that promote healing without fear of stigma or discrimination

We also offer specialized process groups and curriculum exploring topics such as:

• Sexual and gender identity development
• Chemsex and harm reduction
• Religious trauma and internalized shame
• Building healthy relationships and boundaries

Our goal is to provide person-centered, trauma-informed care that honors your full identity so you don’t have to separate yourself from the healing process. At Hazelden Betty Ford, you’ll find more than treatment. You will find belonging, respect, and a path forward grounded in who you are.
