We are familiar as to how a history of keeping secrets can impact secrecy in active addiction.
We respect transgendered individuals, and we accommodate living situations for transgendered individuals to be housed with the gender with which they identify. We also help transgendered individuals start their transition by visiting with an outside physician and/or we help continue to prescribe HRT medications, after assessed by the medical director. We work with outside community organizations that help provide resources and support groups for people in the LBGTQ+ community. When we have a larger census of individuals who identify as LGBTQ+, we have LGBTQ+ groups. We take clients who identify as LGBTQ+ to PRIDE parades or other special LGBTQ+ events, especially in the Wilton Manors area, which is a community that is highly populated with LGBTQ+ persons. We encourage people who identify as LGBTQ+ to attend 12 step groups in which they can meet like-minded people who are able to stay sober.
We have found that some gay men strongly associate being gay with using “crystal meth” and “poppers” and drinking alcohol, in addition to using social apps to meet men and go to gay bars. We help in the process of teaching individuals that there are many parts to being gay, and being gay is only part of a person, just as having a substance use disorder or a job is part of a person; we all have many parts to ourselves and to label ourselves as one type of person limits our ability to grow and find our true selves. We encourage individuals to be “out” and proud about who they are, and we do not want to stunt any growth that helps in the process of life fulfillment; we encourage life fulfillment. We enjoy helping people from the LGBTQ+ community learn how to navigate the LGBTQ+ world in a sober manner without the use of drugs, and we teach, discuss, and process ways to make friends in the LGBTQ+ community that is safe, sober, healthy, and fun.
