Care that includes transgender and nonbinary people

Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

Safety in detox

Ask how the program handles room assignments and whether you can keep taking prescribed medications, including hormones, during detox. You shouldn't have to choose between safe withdrawal and being respected.
