Family, rejection and recovery

Many LGBTQ people carry experiences of family rejection or strained relationships into treatment. Research on LGBTQ young people has linked family rejection with higher rates of substance use and depression, while family acceptance is protective.

Good programs make room for chosen family and offer family sessions when they help. Our guide on family rejection and recovery covers this in more depth.

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 Tempe where you go afterward.

Arizona rules and programs that affect treatment

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

Who oversees treatment

AHCCCS, Arizona's Medicaid agency, is the Single State Agency for substance abuse treatment. The Arizona Department of Health Services licenses behavioral health residential facilities that provide substance use treatment.

Court-ordered treatment

Arizona's court-ordered evaluation and treatment process under Title 36 requires a mental disorder meeting criteria like danger to self or others, and AHCCCS states it is not meant to treat substance use disorders alone. A person with a substance use disorder qualifies only if the behavior stems from a separate qualifying mental disorder.

Cost and coverage

The cost of treatment depends mostly on the level of care, length of stay and your insurance. Residential care costs the most; outpatient therapy the least. Many programs on SAMHSA's directory accept private insurance, and some offer sliding-scale fees. See our insurance guides.
