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.
Questions worth asking
Ask how the LGBTQ group runs, whether staff have LGBTQ-specific training, how the program handles rooming, and whether partners or chosen family can join family sessions. Our checklist has more.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
Are these rehabs only for gay men?
No. They report programming for LGBTQ clients and for adult men, but most serve a mixed population. Ask each one how its groups are organized.
Will my information stay private?
Federal rules (42 CFR Part 2) give substance use treatment records extra confidentiality protections beyond standard health privacy law. Ask any program how it handles your records and who can see them.
Is there gay-friendly residential rehab inside Durham?
We don't list one inside Durham itself, but the closest programs within driving distance are listed on this page.
Can I talk about sex and drug use in treatment?
Yes, and it helps to. If drug use has become tied to sex or dating apps, tell the program at intake so relapse prevention can address it without judgment.
