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.

Alabama rules and programs that affect treatment

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

Prescription monitoring

Alabama's Prescription Drug Monitoring Program is run by the Alabama Department of Public Health's Pharmacy Division under Code of Alabama 1975, section 20-2-210 and following. It collects dispensing records for Schedule II-V controlled substances so prescribers and pharmacists can see a patient's controlled-substance history.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Alabama law gives civil and criminal immunity to a person who, in good faith and with reasonable care, gives an opioid antagonist such as naloxone to someone who appears to be having an opioid overdose, and to the prescribers and dispensers involved. The Alabama Department of Mental Health calls the 2015 law that created these protections the Good Samaritan Law.

Using your insurance

Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.
