Nearby cities to compare

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.

Party drugs and chemsex

If use is tied to particular places, people or apps, part of treatment is building a social life that doesn't revolve around them. LGBTQ recovery meetings and community groups can help.

Prescription monitoring

Public coverage for treatment

Iowa Medicaid is a major funder of behavioral health care in the state, and the managed care organizations it contracts with must provide mental health and substance use services.
