Dual Diagnosis Drug Treatment

Research has shown us that drug addiction and alcoholism is higher in the LGBT community than in the heterosexual community, so it is not a shock to anyone that many in the gay and lesbian community also suffer from dual diagnosis. Dual diagnosis is the presence of a mental health disorder and drug abuse or alcohol abuse.

In the past there have not been dual diagnosis treatment centers that were committed to the gay or LGBT community. Today there are alcohol rehabilitation, drug rehabs, as well as, dual diagnosis treatment centers that address dual diagnosis and the needs of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender population.

Some of the drug rehabs that effectively treat dual disorders are Lakeview Health Systems, Stepping Stone Center and Freedom Rings.
