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.
Safety in detox
If you're worried about being outed or treated badly, ask about confidentiality and anti-harassment policies before admission. Federal rules give substance use treatment records extra privacy protection.
