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 Ruston where you go afterward.

Louisiana rules and programs that affect treatment

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

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Louisiana's overdose Good Samaritan law, La. R.S. 14:403.10, protects a person who acts in good faith to get help for an overdose from charges and prosecution for possessing a controlled substance.

Court-ordered treatment

Louisiana law (La. R.S. 28:53) allows emergency admission by certificate of a person with a substance-related or addictive disorder who is dangerous to self or others or gravely disabled, and longer stays require judicial commitment under R.S. 28:54.

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.
