Family, rejection and recovery
Many LGBTQ people carry experiences of family rejection or strained relationships into treatment. Research on LGBTQ young people has linked family rejection with higher rates of substance use and depression, while family acceptance is protective.
Good programs make room for chosen family and offer family sessions when they help. Our guide on family rejection and recovery covers this in more depth.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
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.
What does it mean that a program reports an LGBTQ program?
Each listed facility told SAMHSA's national treatment survey that it offers a program or group specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer clients. It's self-reported, so ask the program how the group works and how often it meets.
Where is the nearest gay-friendly rehab to Helena, MT?
The nearest listed program is Montana Chemical Dependency Ctr, about 47 miles from Helena. Programs on this page are residential or hospital programs that report an LGBTQ program or group and a program for adult men.
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.
