Being able to be yourself in treatment
Treatment works best when you can talk honestly about your life: your partner, your family, your gender, where and why you use. In a program that runs an LGBTQ group, those conversations are expected rather than awkward. Ask any program how staff are trained and how they handle names, pronouns and rooming.
See questions to ask an LGBTQ rehab before you commit.
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 Denver or wherever home is.
Prefer to live at home during treatment?
We list 52 programs within 25 miles of Denver that report intensive outpatient, day treatment or regular outpatient services. Intensive outpatient and partial hospitalization programs let you attend treatment during the day or evening and go home afterward.
