How Do You Know if You Even Need Addiction Treatment?

Are drugs and alcohol really the problem? Or is it something else – something that runs deeper that’s driving your addiction? Be honest with yourself about substance abuse and mental illness challenges, and take a moment to answer the following questions:

Why is This Happening to You?

The sexuality spectrum of the LGBTQ+ community is wonderfully unique but also complex. A personalized approach can be instrumental in achieving and maintaining your recovery and mental health wellness. Here are some of the most common underlying emotional reasons for LGBTQ+ substance and alcohol abuse and why addiction can be hard to overcome without seeking treatment and finding the right kind of help:

History of being bullied and harassed

Family conflict and rejection

Abuse and trauma

Depression and other mental health problems

History of family members who have experienced substance abuse

Peer pressure

Started doing drugs or drinking at an early age

So, what’s the best way to deal with substance abuse and mental illness? Good question. Keep reading to look at options some people consider — then look at our treatment program designed specifically for the LGBTq Community.

DENIAL: “I don’t have a problem. I can deal with this on my own.”
Substance abuse is dependence on an addictive substance, such as alcohol and/or drugs. It can be hard to admit you have a substance abuse problem. Addiction can be frightening, and feels embarrassing to confess to family members and friends. So, it might seem easier to try and cope with this on your own.

But when you’re honest with yourself, you realize the truth is you need help. Substance abuse and mental health go hand in hand. Addiction and mental health treatment centers are safe environments, whether participating in residential or outpatient programs.

How LGBTQ People Can Cope With Drug or Alcohol Addiction

  • You could try handling this on your own. Have you tried to quit before but couldn’t do it? What if it doesn’t work (again)? What then?

  • You could search for answers online. But do you want to bet your life on advice from a random blog post or web page? Careful. This approach could cause you far more harm than good.

  • You could ask your doctor for help. If your doctor knows how to treat LGBTQ+ alcohol and drug abuse or knows of support groups who can, this could work. If not, keep looking.

  • You could ask a loved one.  Friends and family members may have good intentions, but are they experts in addiction recovery, and do they understand what you’re going through? Probably not. This could delay or prevent you from finding the right solution.

  • You could do nothing. Yes, “do nothing” is an option. But when you’re honest with yourself, you already know that doing nothing won’t work for your addiction or mental health, and you can’t go on like this.
