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.
