Mental health and substance use together
Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.
If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.
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.

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.

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.
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.
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.
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.
