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 alcohol rehab works

Never stop heavy daily drinking suddenly without medical advice; withdrawal can cause seizures. Programs near Acworth with medical detox can manage it safely, then move you into therapy.

Who oversees treatment

The Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) licenses Drug Abuse Treatment and Education Programs and Narcotic Treatment Programs, a duty that moved to it from the Department of Community Health. Its Office of Addictive Diseases also funds substance use treatment providers.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Georgia's 9-1-1 Medical Amnesty law (O.C.G.A. 16-13-5) protects a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, for themselves or someone else, from arrest and prosecution for certain minor drug possession offenses when the evidence comes solely from seeking help. It also covers some probation, parole and protective order violations tied to those offenses.

Using your insurance

Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
