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.
Is outpatient enough?
If you try IOP and keep using, that's useful information, not failure. Programs can move you to a higher level of care.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
Will my information stay private?
