LGBTQ Detox in Washington

Treatment rules and programs in Washington

Prescription monitoring

Washington's Prescription Monitoring Program holds controlled substance dispensing data that providers can view in a patient's history. It appears on the Department of Health's site and is run by that department.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

RCW 69.50.315 protects a person who seeks medical help for an overdose, and the person who overdosed, from charges for certain drug possession offenses when the evidence came from seeking help. It applies only to the listed possession offenses.

Court-ordered treatment

Washington's Involuntary Treatment Act (Chapter 71.05 RCW) allows detention and judicial commitment of persons impaired by a substance use disorder who meet its criteria.

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 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.
