Pride Institute

Substance Recovery · Virginia · Free

Nation's first dedicated LGBTQ+ inpatient mental health and chemical dependency treatment program. Useful for queer people who've tried 12-step but found the rooms straight-by-default and hostile to identity work. LGBTQ+ AA/NA meetings are free, meet daily in most metros, and online options run 24/7. Sober dating, friendship, and sex are real challenges in queer culture; affirming therapists work with this directly. All services free of charge to LGBTQ+ Virginia residents and allies.
