Stonewall Inn Rallies for Recovery
2020 saw the highest number of overdoses on record in the United States. The pandemic has worsened mental health and substance use disorders for everyone, but the LGBTQ+ community is particularly at risk. Those that identify as LGBTQ+ are four times more likely to suffer from substance use disorder and mental health issues.
Due to the harrowing stigmas we face in the culture, we’re also far less likely to seek treatment or attend rehab due to the overwhelming fear of being discriminated against or misunderstood.
We’ve lost far too many of the brightest lights in our community to substance use disorder, which is why we are launching an awareness campaign called the “Stonewall Inn Rallies for Recovery.” We are committed to smashing the stigma of substance use disorders. We are committed to lowering the heartbreaking statistics of overdoses in our community. And most pressingly, we are committed to providing vetted resources that specialize in treating the LGBTQ+ community and are operated by members of the LGBTQ+ community.
In traditional rehabilitation centers, many LGBTQ+ people have reported that they've experienced inappropriate behavior and homophobia from both the participants and the professionals running their program. In order for recovery to be possible, it's imperative that one feels safe, seen, and understood. The LGBTQ+ community deals with a specific set of traumas that require treatment from experts who've either experienced those traumas firsthand — or have undergone intensive training in treating them.
Here you can find a list of LGBTQ+ Rehab centers that are LGBTQ+ operated and specialize in serving our beloved LGBTQ+ community.
