More about Gay Men's Institute - Desert Palms

Gay Men's Institute specializes in treating the LGBTQ community by offering individual and group therapy sessions that address any struggles relating to sexual orientation and gender identity. We are sensitive to patients' needs in treatment, respecting patients' gender identity and their family of choice for family therapy sessions.

In addition to its residential/inpatient program, Gay Men's Institute Desert Palms (formerly Sunspire Health Desert Palms) offers onsite sub-acute social detox (when necessary), Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), and Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) at a separate Gay Men's Institute sober living building. Each patient receives individualized treatment based on his or her specific needs for recovery. Patients have many different varieties of therapy available during treatment, including individual therapy, CBT, psycho-education, motivational interviewing, relapse prevention, and adventure therapy. Alternative therapies such as yoga, meditation, and animal-assisted therapy are also offered.

Our highly trained team of physicians, nurses, therapists and residential staff are addiction specialists who will get to know each patient in order to develop an individualized recovery plan. The facility has a high staff-to-patient ratio, ensuring that each patient receives the personalized care he or she deserves.

The clinical staff at Gay Men's Institute specializes in treating co-occurring mental health disorders like depression and anxiety and have expertise in helping patients to overcome traumatic military, sexual, or early childhood experiences that may have contributed to the development of substance abuse. Additionally, many of those working with patients at Gay Men's Institute have lived experience with addiction or trauma, giving them a deep understanding of the struggles patients may be facing.

Our staff also works closely with young adults ranging from 18-25 years old who enter our residential program with unique triggers and concerns, as well as those who may have been through multiple rehab programs in the past but continue to struggle with relapse and require group therapy catered to these issues.

Admissions Process

The first step to beginning a rehab program is to call or chat a Sunspire Health care advocate. These staff members are available 24/7 to answer your specific questions about rehab and help you get placed at a Sunspire Health facility that will fit best with your needs in treatment. We accept most major private insurance plans.

Once insurance or another payment method is verified, you or the loved one you're calling for will take a clinical screening to ensure we can properly care for the addiction. After the screening is complete and approved, arrival at one of our facilities is scheduled as soon as possible. Transportation can be arranged for patients to ensure that travel is not a burden.

Treatment and Philosophy

Gay Men's Institute is located just outside of the luxury destination of Palm Springs on property that was once a Hollywood movie set and boutique hotel. The facility's palm tree-lined landscape with desert mountain views provides an ideal environment for escaping the chaos of addiction and healing in body, mind, and spirit. With 36 beds available and nursing staff on-site 24 hours a day, the facility offers resort-like accommodations that give peace of mind to men and women seeking a life of sobriety. Patients have access to an onsite outdoor pool, jacuzzi, and recreation room outfitted with a television and computers. Gay Men's Institute also has a commercial-grade kitchen where its staff chef prepares nutritious and delicious meals three times per day.
