Care that includes transgender and nonbinary people

Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

How alcohol rehab works

Alcohol rehab begins with a safe detox when needed, because alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous after heavy daily drinking. Treatment then combines therapy with medications for alcohol use disorder, such as naltrexone, acamprosate or disulfiram, when they fit.

The programs on this page report alcohol detox or alcohol use disorder medications along with an LGBTQ program or group.

Tennessee rules and programs that affect treatment

Who oversees treatment

Tennessee's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services licenses alcohol and drug treatment facilities through its Office of Licensure, which checks providers against state law and departmental rules.

Prescription monitoring

Tennessee's prescription monitoring program is the Controlled Substance Monitoring Database, run by the Tennessee Department of Health. It collects dispensing records for Schedule II through V controlled substances and lets authorized practitioners review a patient's prescription history.

Insurance and cost

Federal parity rules generally require health plans that cover substance use treatment to cover it on terms comparable to other medical care. 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.
