Care that includes transgender and nonbinary people

Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

What gay-friendly rehab looks like

The programs on this page are residential or hospital programs that report both an LGBTQ program or group and a program for adult men to SAMHSA. That doesn't mean they serve only gay men; it means they have structured groups where gay, bisexual and queer clients can talk openly.

Residential care gives you distance from triggers, a daily structure of therapy and support, and time to rebuild routines in Columbus or wherever home is.
