“PRIDE helped me realize that there are many healthy ways to build my sense of self as a gay man, without the use of drugs or alcohol.” – Jason E

Other comments from Jason:

“I would recommend PRIDE to anyone in the LGBT community seeking recovery from addiction. The program is comprehensive and well executed…About a week into the program at PRIDE, I realized that I was the happiest I had been in years.”

“In order for me to begin the journey of recovery, I had to be able to talk about my use of drugs and alcohol as an openly gay man. The only place I could do that was PRIDE Institute.”

“Today, I am getting a master’s degree in Social Work and plan to pursue a career in community-based recovery programs for mental illness and substance abuse. This accomplishment is entirely due to my sobriety, and my sobriety is heavily due to the amazing experience I had at PRIDE.”
