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.
How IOP and PHP work
Intensive outpatient programs (IOP) usually meet about three hours a day, three to five days a week. Partial hospitalization programs (PHP), also called day treatment, run most of the day while you sleep at home. Both deliver group and individual therapy, and many include medication management.
Every program on this page reports one of these levels of care plus an LGBTQ program or group.

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.

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 bring my partner or chosen family into treatment?
Many programs offer family sessions and let you define who counts as family. Ask at intake whether partners and chosen family can take part.
What's the difference between IOP and PHP?
IOP usually meets about three hours a day, several days a week. PHP, or day treatment, runs most of the day, five or more days a week. Both let you sleep at home.
Can I keep working during IOP?
Often, yes. Many IOPs run in the evening. Partial hospitalization takes most of the day, so it's harder to combine with full-time work.
