Are you or a loved one a part of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning (LGBTQ) community? If so, you may face unique challenges to your mental health and well-being, often compounded by substance use disorders (SUDs). At our mental health treatment center in Philadelphia, we understand the complexities of dual diagnosis, addressing both substance abuse and underlying mental health conditions.
Our mental health and dual diagnosis program goes beyond traditional substance abuse treatment to provide tailored support that respects and embraces your LGBTQ identity. We recognize the increased prevalence of SUDs and mental health disorders within the LGBTQ community and offer specialized care to meet these needs.
The LGBTQ community experiences higher rates of substance use, including alcohol, marijuana, and prescription opioids, often alongside serious mental health issues. Factors such as discrimination, stigma, violence, unemployment, and lack of social support contribute to these disparities.
With Promont Wellness, you’ll find a safe and inclusive space where your identity is honored, and your treatment plan is personalized to address both substance abuse and mental health concerns. Our dedicated professionals understand the unique challenges you face and are committed to supporting your journey to recovery.
Many individuals in the LGBTQ community struggle with co-occurring disorders, such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, alongside substance abuse. Our dual diagnosis program addresses these complex needs with a combination of therapy and medication management, ensuring comprehensive care for your recovery.
We offer various levels of care, including outpatient, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs, to meet your specific needs. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can achieve sobriety and improve your mental well-being.
Promont Wellness offers a range of treatment programs tailored to meet the diverse needs of individuals facing mental health and addiction challenges within the LGBTQ community:
Our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) is a comprehensive treatment option that offers intensive, structured support throughout the day. Tailored to meet the complex needs of individuals facing mental health and addiction challenges within the LGBTQ community, PHP provides a highly structured environment where participants receive a combination of therapy and medical support. Our experienced team of professionals delivers personalized care to address each individual’s specific needs and concerns. PHP is particularly well-suited for those who require a higher level of care but do not need overnight stays in a residential facility. It offers a supportive setting where individuals can engage in therapeutic interventions, group sessions, and medical monitoring to promote healing and recovery. With PHP, participants benefit from a structured treatment schedule while still having the flexibility to return home in the evenings, allowing for continued support from their loved ones and integration of newly acquired coping skills into their daily lives.
Our Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is designed to offer a flexible yet comprehensive treatment option for individuals within the LGBTQ community who require structured support while continuing with their daily routines. This program is well-suited for those transitioning from a higher level of care, such as our Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), or for individuals needing ongoing support to manage their mental health and addiction challenges. In the IOP, participants engage in therapy sessions tailored to their unique needs and circumstances, facilitated by our team of skilled therapists and counselors who specialize in LGBTQ-affirmative care. These therapy sessions focus on addressing underlying issues contributing to mental health and addiction concerns, as well as developing coping skills and strategies for long-term recovery. Additionally, our IOP includes medication management services overseen by our medical professionals to ensure optimal treatment outcomes. By offering a balance of structured support and flexibility, our Intensive Outpatient Program empowers individuals to continue their healing journey while maintaining their daily responsibilities and commitments outside of treatment.
In our Outpatient Care program, we provide tailored treatment plans specifically designed to meet the needs of individuals within the LGBTQ community who may have milder symptoms or greater independence in managing their mental health and addiction challenges. Our approach to outpatient care emphasizes customization, ensuring that each individual receives personalized support aligned with their unique circumstances and goals. Through collaborative discussions with our team of experienced clinicians, participants actively participate in the development of their treatment plans, allowing for a more individualized and effective approach to care.
Therapy sessions within our Outpatient Care program are thoughtfully tailored to address the specific needs and concerns of each participant. Whether it’s exploring underlying triggers, developing coping strategies, or enhancing resilience, our therapy sessions provide a supportive and non-judgmental space for individuals to navigate their recovery journey. Our therapists specialize in LGBTQ-affirmative care, ensuring that participants feel understood, validated, and empowered throughout the therapeutic process.
One of the key benefits of our Outpatient Care program is its flexibility, which allows individuals to balance their treatment with other commitments such as work, school, or family responsibilities. With convenient scheduling options and the ability to attend therapy sessions on an outpatient basis, participants can access the support they need while still maintaining their daily routines and obligations. This flexibility fosters a sense of autonomy and empowerment, enabling individuals to take ownership of their recovery journey and integrate newfound coping skills into their everyday lives.
These programs provide a continuum of care, allowing individuals to access the level of support that best fits their needs while working towards recovery from mental health and addiction challenges.
“I’d like to thank Courtney from the bottom of my heart. She helped me through the scary process of getting into treatment and then treated me with respect and compassion. The treatment process was scary, vulnerable and uncomfortable, but she did everything she could to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I have become an active member of the recovery community and could not have done it without the guidance and expertise Courtney provided throughout treatment.”
