Queer Alcohol Detox 

Welcome to Pride Detox, where we provide alcohol detox services in a space that truly sees and supports queer folk. We created an alcohol detox program that meets the needs of queer individuals battling alcohol addiction. Our staff and facility offer care that is both affirming and trauma-informed. We understand the role that identity, stigma, and past experiences can play in addiction, and we are here to help you heal. 

At Pride Detox, you’ll find more than medical support; you'll find a community that gets it. This is a place to begin again, safely and authentically.

What is Queer Alcohol Detox?

Queer alcohol detox is the process of getting alcohol out of your system in a space that caters to your needs and affirms your identity as a queer person.

For many people, detox is the first step toward recovery, and it's an important one. Trying to detox on your own can be risky, especially if you’ve been drinking heavily for a long time. That’s why medically supported detox is so important—it helps keep you safe and as comfortable as possible while your body adjusts.

Detox usually happens in three phases:

• Evaluation: This is where your care team checks what’s in your system and how withdrawal might affect you.
• Stabilization: This phase focuses on getting you through withdrawal safely, with medical support, therapy, and sometimes medication.
• Transition into Treatment: Once you're stable, the next step is helping you move into a longer-term treatment program that focuses on healing the mental and emotional roots of addiction.

Queer Alcohol Detox at Pride Detox

At Pride Detox, we know that seeking help for alcohol addiction can be especially difficult for queer folks. Maybe you have dealt with discrimination, been misunderstood by healthcare providers, or felt like there wasn’t a place that truly saw you. That is why we have built our program around care that’s not only effective but also affirming. That is why we offer support that meets you where you are, with people who understand what you’ve been through.

Support That Actually Feels Supportive
We believe that healing starts with safety. From your first phone call with us to your time in therapy, you will be in a space where your identity is respected and protected. Our team receives specialized training that ensures every part of your experience—from intake to recovery—is built on respect and inclusivity.

More Than Just Detox
Yes, detox is a big part of what we do, but it is not the whole story. We know that addiction is often tied to trauma, stress, isolation, all the things that so many queer people carry. To help you heal, we offer therapy that meets you where you are, whether you are unpacking years of pain or just trying to stay grounded in early recovery.

You Deserve Care That Gets You
Your identity, experiences, and story matter here. We don’t treat people like checklists or diagnoses. We treat you like a person who deserves to be supported, believed in, and empowered to get better.

Symptoms of Alcohol Detox

When someone drinks heavily over a long period, their body adjusts to having alcohol in their system. So when they suddenly stop or cut back, it can trigger withdrawal—a mix of physical and emotional symptoms as the body tries to rebalance. Without medical support, some of these symptoms can become dangerous.

Common symptoms include:

• Anxiety, irritability, or feeling agitated
• Sensitivity to light and sound
• Trouble focusing or remembering things
• Nausea, vomiting, or no appetite
• Shaking, high blood pressure, or a racing heart
• Sleep problems, including insomnia or vivid nightmares
• Hallucinations or seeing things that aren’t there
• High fever
• Seizures, including a severe and potentially life-threatening condition called delirium tremens

The severity of withdrawal depends on several things. How much and how long you have been drinking, your age, and your overall health.

Residential Rehab After Queer Alcohol Detox

Residential rehabilitation is when you stay at a facility to receive constant care and support from alcohol addiction treatment professionals. Pride Detox offers this level of care to ensure a structured environment for recovery. Some benefits of our inpatient treatment after queer alcohol detox include:

• Access to immediate support
• Guidance from medical staff
• Therapy
• A healing process within a supportive community of peers and mentors.
