LGBTQ Detox in Ohio

Treatment rules and programs in Ohio

Who oversees treatment

Ohio's Department of Behavioral Health (formerly the Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services) licenses community addiction treatment providers, inspects them, and writes the licensing rules under state law.

Prescription monitoring

Ohio's prescription drug monitoring program is OARRS, the Ohio Automated Rx Reporting System, run by the Ohio Board of Pharmacy. It tracks controlled substance prescriptions dispensed to patients.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Ohio's Good Samaritan law gives limited immunity from prosecution for minor drug possession and paraphernalia offenses to a person who seeks medical help for an overdose and to the person who overdosed, provided they get a treatment screening and referral.

Court-ordered treatment

Ohio lets a probate court order involuntary treatment for a person with alcohol or other drug abuse under a petition process set out in Revised Code sections 5119.90 to 5119.98.

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.

Every program on this page reports detox services and an LGBTQ program or group to SAMHSA.
