Struggling with drug and alcohol addiction and seeking rehab that’s LGBTQ friendly? Look no further than Recovery Unplugged! Give us a call at 855-409-8036 or visit us online at https://bit.ly/2WVftVo EDGE Media Network, the leading source for LGBTQ news and entertainment, sat down with a few of our clients and staff to interview them about their experience at Recovery Unplugged as well as their stories of addiction, recovery, and coming out. Samantha is an out and proud femme lesbian in recovery, living a clean and sober lifestyle. Things weren’t always that way… she grappled with her sexuality up until the age of 24 and struggled heavily with addiction to heroin, crystal meth, and alcohol. It wasn’t until she came to rehab at Recovery Unplugged that she was able to finally gain control of her substance abuse issues. The healing power of Music Assisted Treatment helped her dig deep and express the true emotions and process the trauma before her addiction. Even to this day, 5 years later, Samantha still utilizes the coping skills she learned at Recovery Unplugged by listening to and sharing music with others. After three years of sobriety and a few failed attempts at serious relationships with men, Samantha realized that she was a lesbian and decided to come out. Since being completely open about not only her sexuality but also her recovery, she has been able to help so many people who also struggle with drug addiction and alcoholism. She shares her story so that others can relate – none of us are ever alone and there is always hope.
