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.

Questions worth asking

If sex and drug use have become linked for you, say so at intake. A good program will address it without judgment as part of relapse prevention.
