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 usually lasts several days to about a week, depending on the substance. Staff watch vital signs, give medications to ease symptoms, and help plan the next step. Detox alone isn't treatment, so ask programs near Queens where you go afterward.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
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.
How long does detox take?
Usually several days to about a week, depending on the substance and how long you've used it.
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.
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.
