Taking the first step toward recovery requires courage. When you’re part of the LGBTQ+ community, looking for addiction treatment means finding a space that supports both your recovery and identity. The specialized LGBTQ+ programs at Next Step Recovery address unique challenges, like discrimination and stigma, so you get care that respects who you are.
Why LGBTQ+ People Benefit from Specialized Treatment
LGBTQ+ individuals experience addiction at higher rates than the general population. Studies show they are two to three times more likely to use substances, with many reporting struggles with multiple drugs. Many people start using drugs or alcohol because of challenges like family rejection, workplace discrimination, social isolation, internalized shame, and trauma. These factors, known as minority stress, can lead to substance use as a way to cope.
Challenges in Traditional Treatment Programs

Residential Recovery
