Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

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.

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.
