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.

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.

Tennessee rules and programs that affect treatment

These state-level facts apply to everyone seeking LGBTQ detox in Athens.

Who oversees treatment

Tennessee's Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services licenses alcohol and drug treatment facilities through its Office of Licensure, which checks providers against state law and departmental rules.

Prescription monitoring

Tennessee's prescription monitoring program is the Controlled Substance Monitoring Database, run by the Tennessee Department of Health. It collects dispensing records for Schedule II through V controlled substances and lets authorized practitioners review a patient's prescription history.

Cost and coverage

The cost of treatment depends mostly on the level of care, length of stay and your insurance. Residential care costs the most; outpatient therapy the least. Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides.
