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
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.

How long does detox take?
Usually several days to about a week, depending on the substance and how long you've used it.
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.
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.
