Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals still face extensive discrimination and prejudice in society. Professionals in Rhode Island drug addiction rehab centers are called to affirm clients' ability to integrate their sexual identity in healthy ways into their personal recovery, as well as support LGBT-inclusivity. This is necessary in the proper recovery of LGBT folk.
If substance abuse is indeed more prevalent in the LGBT community than in the general population, why are there so few treatment programs specifically for the LGBT community? In a field that should emphasize cultural differences among all individuals of minority status, there are not enough resources available to the LGBT population or enough research done to help educate counselors on the important differences among those in the LGBT community and how these differences affect their treatment when it comes to substance abuse.
Special consideration is given to the factors influencing substance use among LGBT individuals in rehab centers. These factors are addressed in counseling in order for the counselor as well as the individual to understand their substance abuse issues. Though there are very few studies that address treatment outcomes of specialized substance abuse programs for the LGBT community, some research suggests that specialized treatment for LGBT individuals with substance abuse problems leads to better outcomes and abstinence from drug and alcohol use.
The LGBT community has made remarkable strides over the last few decades, but the stress and discrimination that gay, transgender, and questioning people face remains at critically high levels. The Center for American Progress writes that upwards of 43 percent of LGBT individuals have been the victim of workplace discrimination, and as many as 90 percent of transgender members of the American workforce say they have been harassed and mistreated on the job.
Research tells us that many alcohol and drug treatment programs aren't doing a good enough job of dealing with issues of sexuality and gender. While LGBT clients may come into alcohol and drug treatment with the same issues as other people, they may also have some unique concerns. However, numerous rehab centers are making strides to properly accommodate LGBT persons.
LGBT people may need to explore their feelings about their sexuality or gender, explore the effects of stigma, or deal with "coming out" issues (i.e., issues around disclosing their sexual orientation and/or gender identity).
LGBT clients may also prefer to work with LGBT staff. At the very least, they should have access to competent and supportive "allies." However, competent and trained allies or openly queer and transgender staff are not always available to these clients. Many treatment programs do not address issues around sexual or gender orientation in their programming. However, this is changing.
Finally, LGBT people may have different family types or circles of support. Their families may be families of choice - made up of close friends and ex-partners. Services providers in Rhode Island are open when asking about or including people the client identifies as a family member or support. If you are a LGBT person and require help to break your addiction, any of the available rehab centers will help you get your life back.
