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.
