Contact usMembers of the LGBTIQ community face challenges which differ from people in other communities. Rates of substance abuse and addiction are higher among people who identify on the LGBTIQ spectrum. Often, there is an underlying cause for the addiction such as abuse, trauma, stigmitaisation, violence, and harassment.
That's why The Hader Clinic specialises in providing treatment programs with a focus on treating the whole self. We've been helping people within the LGBTIQ community for decades.
Those who identify as LGBTIQ face a range of challenges when recovering from substance addiction. While some of these issues may apply to other addicts, many do not. At The Hader Clinic, we understand that every single person's situation is different, and that the reasons for drug and alcohol addiction are diverse.
The physical effects of drug addiction on members of the LGBTIQ community are common to heterosexuals and CISgender people as well. These can include:
The psychological effects of drug addiction for those who identify as LGBTIQ can include:
LGBTIQ community members display a range of emotional side effects from long-term drug and alcohol use. These can include:
It's not uncommon for members of the LGBTIQ community to encounter problems within their social lives as a result of substance abuse, including:
Addiction and mental health issues can affect how people view their identities. This can lead to:
People with severe drug dependencies and mental health issues will need to enter detox and complete a 28 day treatment program. We will ensure you detox safely, with the supervision of nurses, and help you create a sense of accountability.
Sometimes, a longer program is necessary to achieve full recovery. During this program, people can create long-term goals, and start working actively to achieve them. The programs last between 60 and 90 days, and are tailored to strengthen the foundation of recovery.
Many times, the journey doesn't end when people leave our programs. Some LGBTIQ community members choose to receive ongoing support and care to prevent the risk of relapse. The Hader Clinic offers support services to outpatients, to help people continue to lead healthy and holistic lives outside rehab.
Marginalised groups experience stress associated with being discriminated against and harassed. Despite new laws being passed, and new platforms enabling members of the LGBTIQ community to have a louder voice, many people still experience prejudice and bias on a daily basis.
Members of the LGBTIQ community are often blocked from employment opportunities, or can end up feeling unsafe in the workplace. This leads to higher cases of depression and anxieties, as well as financial hardship and a lack of fulfillment.
There are also higher rates of abuse, including bullying and violence. And daily microaggressions can add up to erode self esteem and self worth, so many people end up facing significant mental health challenges. And, according to the reports from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, there is a strong association between substance abuse and mental health issues.
Members of the LGBTIQ community encounter a myriad of challenges in their everyday lives — more so, in many cases, than heterosexual or CISgender people. Rates of harassment and bullying are higher, and this can wreak havoc on a person's sense of self. As a result, many people suffer from a range of mental health issues which can lead to substance abuse.
These are the findings from a report conducted by the National LGBTI Health Alliance:
If unable to access treatment, or not ready for treatment, people can seek government and community services, such as:
