LGBTQ+ Substance Abuse Treatment at Michael’s House
At Michael’s House Treatment Center, our Pride Program is built on more than 40 years of experience providing LGBTQ+ affirming substance abuse treatment. We offer compassionate, identity-centered care for individuals facing substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. Our approach recognizes that members of the LGBTQ+ community often face unique stressors, identity-related experiences, and cultural needs that standard programs may overlook. The Pride Program provides a safe and supportive space where you can begin healing with dignity and respect.
Michael’s House is proud to offer the Pride Program as part of our full continuum of care, including medically supervised detox, residential treatment, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient services. This continuity allows for consistent clinical support throughout every stage of the recovery journey.
