Why LGBTQ-specific care can matter
Research summarized by the National Institute on Drug Abuse finds that sexual and gender minority people report higher rates of substance use and substance use disorders than the general population. Researchers often explain the gap with minority stress: the extra, ongoing strain of stigma, discrimination and having to stay on guard.
A program with an LGBTQ group gives you a place to talk about those pressures with people who share them, instead of working around them.
What detox involves
Detox manages withdrawal safely while a substance leaves your body. Hospital and residential detox provide around-the-clock monitoring; outpatient detox suits milder withdrawal. Alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids are the substances where medical detox matters most.
Every program on this page reports detox services and an LGBTQ program or group to SAMHSA.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
Can I keep taking hormones during detox?
In most cases you should be able to continue prescribed medications, including gender-affirming hormones. Ask the program and bring your prescriptions.
Can I bring my partner or chosen family into treatment?
Many programs offer family sessions and let you define who counts as family. Ask at intake whether partners and chosen family can take part.
How long does detox take?
Usually several days to about a week, depending on the substance and how long you've used it.
Will my information stay private?
Federal rules (42 CFR Part 2) give substance use treatment records extra confidentiality protections beyond standard health privacy law. Ask any program how it handles your records and who can see them.
