Drug Rehab in California

LGBTQ+ Drug Rehab

LGBTQ Drug Rehab Program

Finding an LGBTQ drug rehab program can make a world of difference in the experience you have with addiction treatment. However, not all addiction treatment centers offer a truly LGBTQ-affirming program, even in major cities like Los Angeles, CA. That’s why Outpatient LA is proud to offer a flexible LGBTQ drug rehab program in the Los Angeles area. So, what should you know?

Why Does Having an LGBTQ Drug Rehab Program Matter?

Our LGBTQ drug rehab program includes a routine LGBTQ group meeting in addition to other therapies and treatments you’ll participate in during your time at Outpatient LA. Here are some of the top reasons why access to an LGBTQ drug rehab program is so critical for clients who are a part of the LGBTQIA+ community:

Higher Rates of Addiction in the LGBTQ Community

Research shows that lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex people are more likely to develop substance use disorders compared to those who are cisgender and heterosexual. People in these groups can also be more prone to more severe substance abuse symptoms. Why is that the case? Stigma, discrimination, and trauma affect LGBTQ people at higher rates, which can lead to substance use disorders and other mental health challenges. That being said, it’s important to remember that substance use disorders and other mental health conditions are treatable. 

A Comfortable and Safe Space

The LGBTQ drug rehab program at Outpatient LA gives clients a comfortable and safe space to connect with, support, and befriend each other. Knowing that you are around other LGBTQ people can provide a sense of community, aiding resilience and helping you feel less alone. Our medical and mental health providers are trauma and LGBTQ-informed, following a strict non-discrimination policy. We are aware of the hardships you may have faced and are here to give you a non-intimidating, positive treatment experience. We strive to cultivate a space where your nervous system can relax, even if you have had unfavorable treatment experiences in the past.

Tailored Support for Addiction

All Outpatient LA clients benefit from our customized addiction treatment plans. The specific therapies and treatment activities you participate in at our outpatient center will be based on what will help you the most. Since we take a trauma-informed and whole-person perspective, this will include acknowledging your personal wants, needs, goals, and feedback. 

Our LGBTQ Drug Rehab Program is Covered by Insurance

We know that cost can be a barrier for those looking for addiction treatment in general. There’s an added layer of difficulty for those looking for an LGBTQ-friendly substance abuse treatment center. Outpatient LA accepts most forms of health insurance, including but not limited to Anthem, Aetna, BCBS, Beacon, Cigna, Value Options, GEHA, TUFTS, MultiPlan, and Johns Hopkins. 

Using your health insurance plan can help you cover the cost of our Southern California LGBTQ drug rehab program. To verify your health insurance for LGBTQ addiction treatment at Outpatient LA, please call our admissions line or complete the insurance verification form under the insurance tab on our website.

Levels of Care and Addiction Treatment Services at Outpatient LA

Here are some of the main treatment programs and services offered at Outpatient LA. During the intake process, our team will help you or your loved one attending our LGBTQ drug rehab program decide on a starting level of care (e.g., PHP vs. IOP). Don’t hesitate to get in touch with Outpatient LA if you have any questions about the following programs and services. 

The partial hospitalization program (PHP) at outpatient LA provides intensive care. Clients in PHP at Outpatient LA participate in therapy daily and are in treatment for the majority of the day throughout the week. As a PHP client at Outpatient LA, you can expect to participate in regular groups, including our LGBTQ group, individual therapy, holistic treatments, and other activities. With a time commitment similar to a traditional work or school schedule, PHP can serve as an alternative to inpatient rehab. 

This treatment program leaves little room for work or similar obligations (e.g., college classes). We can help you or your loved one planning to participate in PHP arrange for time off of work or school if needed.

Intensive outpatient treatment is similar to PHP in the sense that it offers a combination of individual therapy, groups, and other services. However, our intensive outpatient program (IOP) clients have a lower time commitment compared to those in PHP, which can make IOP a suitable option for those who need to balance work with treatment. Many of the clients in our LGBTQ drug rehab program start out in PHP and step down to IOP once they’re ready, but IOP can be a starting level of care. 

As a client at Outpatient LA, you’ll have the option to continue living at your current home address. However, some clients benefit from staying in sober living as a part of their recovery. We offer luxury sober living in Los Angeles, which can provide an added sense of responsibility, accountability, and structure. Let our team know if you or your loved one looking for LGBTQ drug rehab is interested in sober living or might be; we’re here to help!

What if you’re looking for an LGBTQ drug rehab program for someone else? What if they’re someone who isn’t ready to take the leap and go to treatment on their own accord, whether due to negative experiences with other treatment centers or for any other reason? A professional drug interventionist can help loved ones of those facing addiction facilitate a successful intervention, with the option for their loved one to attend one of our programs at the end. We’re here to talk your loved one through any barriers they might be experiencing, including those that might stem from fears about what drug rehab will be like.
