Alcohol Rehab Miami

For years, drug rehab programs and alcohol rehab programs have been opening in Florida. Everything from detox to inpatient addiction treatment and extended or long term care are available for the general public. There have been drug rehab programs for eating disorders, sexual trauma, men and women, but very few drug rehab programs for the gay and lesbian population. Even today, there are only a handful of drug rehab programs that specialize in gay drug rehab or gay addiction treatment and a few more with specialized gay drug rehab components within the actual drug rehab. While there are many more drug rehab programs with gay a component then true gay drug rehab programs, not many of them have staff trained in issues specific to the gay population. Issues such as homophobia, internalized homophobia, coming out and sexuality often go untouched, not to mention, the sensitivity training that must take place for the other members of the staff.

Certain areas more sensitive to Gay Drug Rehab and Gay Alcohol Rehab

I think it is safe to say there are certain areas in the state of Florida that are more sensitive to the gay, lesbian community than others. Some of the areas might include Miami, Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville. Each of these cities have substantial gay populations and services to match. It stands to reason that opening a drug rehab with a gay addiction treatment component or a gay drug rehab in these areas might be easier to manage due to the community support and ancillary community services

Jacksonville Florida Drug Rehab Opens Gay Addiction Treatment Component

For as long as anyone can remember, there has not been any drug rehab programs with gay drug rehab components in Jacksonville providing addiction treatment services to the gay and lesbian community. This statement is especially true when we speak of gay drug rehab programs. What is sad is that within the Orlando, St. Augustine, Jacksonville area there is a significant gay, lesbian population. We are happy to report that a drug rehab has opened a gay component within its addiction treatment program called Freedom Rings, which can be found at www.lakeviewfreedomrings.com [http://www.lakeviewfreedomrings.com/] This may be the beginning of a trend in Northeast Florida to begin paying more attention to treating drug addiction and alcoholism within the gay and lesbian community.

alcohol/Rehab/public/free?

I am looking for a rehab facility in my city(Miami), but I don’t have money to pay. I was wondering if there is such a thing as a free rehab or public?

As Megan said, if you are insured you should be able to get coverage for detox and treatment.
If you don’t have Medicaid or private insurance there are options:
Unless there have been drastic changes in the availability of federal and state funds for indigent substance abuse treatment, you should find a number of programs and facilities that will admit you.
There is federal health care funding for every state that pays for the uninsured to get addiction treatment–from detox to 28 day programs and longer. Also you may qualify for halfway-housing assistance following your successful completion of a treatment program.
Some programs are 28 day residential, others are extended outpatient treatment (anywhere from 3 months to a year or more.
I wish you well. I’ve been through it too.

When a Man Loves a Woman

When a Man Loves a Woman is a dumb title (not another classic pop song, please) for a very smart movie.

28 Days (Special Edition)


28 Days (Special Edition)


$3.47


To appreciate 28 Days, it’s best to be thankful that director Betty Thomas hasn’t forced Sandra Bullock into a remake of Clean and Sober. Instead Thomas has balanced her comedic sensibility (evident in Dr. Dolittle and Private Parts) with the seriousness of alcoholism and substance abuse, and she succeeds without compromising the gravity of the subject matter. Some critics have scoffed at the mov…
