Inspire Recovery takes a creative approach in the care and treatment of substance use. Our program is designed to enrich the emotional health and well-being of our clients by combining evidenced-based therapies with expressive processing groups. Inspire also focuses on topics related to the experiences of LGBTQ+ addicts and alcoholics. We combine 12 Step recovery with responsive coaching and apply a strong emphasis on practical wellness that includes an on-site nutritionist, Tai chi, yoga and weekly meditation. Inspire Recovery isn’t just inclusive— it’s queer and trans-led. We are a transforming, passionate, life changing company on a mission to help the LGBTQIA+ community have an authentic experience while recovering from drugs and alcohol. We celebrate our community’s strengths and normalize their struggles. Our radically trauma-informed approach includes prescribing hormones on an informed consent basis as soon as clients arrive, destigmatizing sex work, and de-escalating folks’ mental health crisis rather than hospitalizing them. At Inspire Recovery, our dedication to the LGBTQ+ community is met with a solid embrace of all allies to those who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer or questioning. Our awareness and sensitivity to diversity extends beyond an individual’s presentation, sexual orientation and gender identity. We treat the whole person, not just their addiction. Our goals are to help individuals identify and overcome the root causes of substance use, provide the education and tools needed to embrace and enjoy themselves in a clean & sober state of mind. We combine a Life Skills curriculum and case manager to support clients in create a strong vision for their future. Acquiring employment and regular attendance of 12 step meetings are also keystones to our program in providing the structure necessary for long-term recovery for the LGBTQ+ community.
