LGBTQ Alcohol Rehab in Minnesota

Treatment rules and programs in Minnesota

Who oversees treatment

The Minnesota Department of Human Services is the state agency that licenses substance use disorder treatment programs under Chapter 245G of state statute.

Prescription monitoring

The Minnesota Prescription Monitoring Program is administered by the Minnesota Board of Pharmacy. It is meant to detect diversion, abuse and misuse of prescribed controlled substances.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Minnesota's Good Samaritan statute protects a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person who overdosed, from prosecution for certain drug possession offenses. It also bars revoking pretrial release, probation or parole based on a covered incident.

Court-ordered treatment

Minnesota's Civil Commitment Act (Chapter 253B) covers 'chemically dependent persons' and allows emergency holds and court commitment for those who cannot manage themselves and are a substantial risk of harm.

Featured alcohol treatment programs in Minnesota

Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

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.

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.
