TREATMENT & ASSESSMENT
Admission to your treatment at PRIDE Institute begins with a phone call to our mental health admissions counselor. Our programs typically run for an average of 25 days, but we also accommodate 60 and 90-day stays. Throughout your treatment, we utilize the 12-Step method and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to address your needs. Our program places a strong emphasis on helping you deal with heterosexism, which we define as the stigmatization of nonheterosexual forms of emotional and affectional expression, sexual behavior, or community. You will participate in individual and group therapy sessions, receive education on HIV and sexual health, engage in relapse prevention, develop cognitive skills and anger management techniques, explore spirituality, enhance coping skills, and participate in physical exercise.
