Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender

Treatment at Wellington Retreat is both sensitive to and supportive of the unique needs of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) patients. More than warm words of welcome, our program recognizes what scientific medical research has taught us about this previously underserved segment of our population. Our physicians and counselors are particularly skilled in helping patient recover from substance abuse and psychiatric disease by being empathic, supportive and nonjudgmental. As medical professionals, we provide targeted attention to co-occurring mental illnesses, HIV/AIDS, STDs, liver disease, hormone-related issues and hepatitis B or C. As a comprehensive program, focus must be placed on returning the patient to safe support systems within the greater LGBT community. Innovative LGBT-specific interventions and treatment approaches are provided to optimize the care and respect of every patient.
