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 manages withdrawal safely while a substance leaves your body. Hospital and residential detox provide around-the-clock monitoring; outpatient detox suits milder withdrawal. Alcohol, benzodiazepines and opioids are the substances where medical detox matters most.
