Pride Institute

Substance Recovery · Connecticut · Free

Nation's first dedicated LGBTQ+ inpatient mental health and chemical dependency treatment program. A starting point for sober-curious LGBTQ+ adults considering whether to cut back without a full crisis. Sliding-scale treatment programs accept Medicaid and Medicare for outpatient and intensive outpatient. LGBTQ+ adults have 2–4x higher rates of substance use disorder than straight peers — minority stress is the driver, not identity. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Connecticut residents and allies.
