Why LGBTQ-specific care can matter
Research summarized by the National Institute on Drug Abuse finds that sexual and gender minority people report higher rates of substance use and substance use disorders than the general population. Researchers often explain the gap with minority stress: the extra, ongoing strain of stigma, discrimination and having to stay on guard.
A program with an LGBTQ group gives you a place to talk about those pressures with people who share them, instead of working around them.
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.

Insurance and cost

Your cost depends on your plan, deductible and the program's network status, so verify benefits first. Our insurance guides explain how major carriers handle rehab.

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.
