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.
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.
California rules and programs that affect treatment
These state-level facts apply to everyone seeking LGBTQ detox in El Cajon.
Who oversees treatment
The California Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) licenses residential nonmedical alcohol and other drug treatment facilities and also certifies many of them under its AOD certification standards.
Prescription monitoring
California's prescription drug monitoring program is CURES (Controlled Substance Utilization Review and Evaluation System), operated by the California Department of Justice. It tracks dispensed controlled substance prescriptions so prescribers, pharmacists and regulators can review them.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
What does it mean that a program reports an LGBTQ program?
Each listed facility told SAMHSA's national treatment survey that it offers a program or group specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer clients. It's self-reported, so ask the program how the group works and how often it meets.
What happens after detox?
Detox is the first step. Treatment continues in residential, partial hospitalization or outpatient care. Ask each program about its referral plan.
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.
How long does detox take?
Usually several days to about a week, depending on the substance and how long you've used it.
