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

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.

Alabama rules and programs that affect treatment

These state-level facts apply to everyone seeking LGBTQ alcohol rehab in Opelika.

Who oversees treatment

The Alabama Department of Mental Health regulates the state's public substance use services system and certifies treatment providers; it contracts with community organizations to deliver outpatient and residential care rather than running programs itself.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Alabama law gives civil and criminal immunity to a person who, in good faith and with reasonable care, gives an opioid antagonist such as naloxone to someone who appears to be having an opioid overdose, and to the prescribers and dispensers involved. The Alabama Department of Mental Health calls the 2015 law that created these protections the Good Samaritan Law.

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.
