Care that includes transgender and nonbinary people
Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.
Read our transgender rehab guide for more.
What gay-friendly rehab looks like
Gay-friendly rehab is still rehab: detox if you need it, therapy, groups, and an aftercare plan. What changes is that your relationships, social life and identity are part of the conversation instead of something you edit out.

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.
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.
