Rehab Treatment Programs for the LGBTQ+
At Greater Boston Behavioral Health, we offer several levels of care to meet the diverse needs of the LGBTQ+ community. Each program is designed to provide specialized, supportive treatment for addiction and co-occurring mental health conditions in a safe and affirming environment.
- Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP): Our PHP offers structured, intensive daytime treatment for those needing more comprehensive support. LGBTQ+ clients participate in daily therapy sessions, counseling, and group activities focused on addiction recovery and addressing the unique challenges they face. Clients return home at the end of each day, allowing for a balance between treatment and independent living.
- Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP): IOP provides flexible, yet focused care with several therapy sessions per week. LGBTQ+ clients receive therapy, group support, and counseling services while maintaining their personal and professional responsibilities. This program is ideal for those who need a moderate level of care but still want to live independently.
- Outpatient Program: For clients with milder symptoms or those stepping down from higher levels of care, our outpatient program offers regular therapy and counseling sessions. LGBTQ+ individuals continue working on recovery goals while receiving the support they need in a more flexible and less intensive setting.
These programs ensure that LGBTQ+ individuals can access the appropriate level of care at every stage of their recovery, helping them navigate addiction while receiving the affirming, compassionate care they deserve.
