Gay & Gay-Friendly Rehab in Washington

Treatment rules and programs in Washington

Prescription monitoring

Washington's Prescription Monitoring Program holds controlled substance dispensing data that providers can view in a patient's history. It appears on the Department of Health's site and is run by that department.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

RCW 69.50.315 protects a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person who overdosed, from charges for certain drug possession offenses when the evidence came from seeking help. It applies only to the listed possession offenses.

Court-ordered treatment

Washington's Involuntary Treatment Act (Chapter 71.05 RCW) allows detention and judicial commitment of persons impaired by a substance use disorder who meet its criteria.

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.

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.

Cost and coverage

The cost of treatment depends mostly on the level of care, length of stay and your insurance. Residential care costs the most; outpatient therapy the least. Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides.
