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.

Connecticut rules and programs that affect treatment

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

Who oversees treatment

In Connecticut, private freestanding facilities that treat substance abuse or dependence are licensed by the Department of Public Health. The Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services is the state agency that funds and operates addiction treatment services.

Court-ordered treatment

Connecticut allows a person who is alcohol- or drug-dependent to be committed through a probate court application under Conn. Gen. Stat. 17a-685 if they are dangerous to themselves or others while intoxicated, or gravely disabled. A court can order inpatient treatment of 30 to 180 days, and a separate short emergency commitment is governed by section 17a-684.

Insurance and cost

Federal parity rules generally require health plans that cover substance use treatment to cover it on terms comparable to other medical care. Your cost depends on your plan, deductible and the program's network status, so verify benefits first. Our insurance guides explain how major carriers handle rehab.
