Being able to be yourself in treatment

Treatment works best when you can talk honestly about your life: your partner, your family, your gender, where and why you use. In a program that runs an LGBTQ group, those conversations are expected rather than awkward. Ask any program how staff are trained and how they handle names, pronouns and rooming.

What detox involves

Detox usually lasts several days to about a week, depending on the substance. Staff watch vital signs, give medications to ease symptoms, and help plan the next step. Detox alone isn't treatment, so ask programs near Anchorage where you go afterward.
