Care that includes transgender and nonbinary people

Transgender and nonbinary people often report being misgendered or treated poorly in health care settings, which can make treatment feel unsafe. Before you enroll, ask how the program handles names and pronouns, room assignments, bathrooms and continuing gender-affirming hormones.

How drug rehab works

Good drug rehab treats the whole picture: the drug, any mental health conditions, physical health and the social life around use. If you use more than one substance, tell the program so the plan covers all of them.

Prescription monitoring

The Georgia Prescription Drug Monitoring Program, run by the Georgia Department of Public Health, collects reports on dispensed controlled substance prescriptions to help reduce duplicative prescribing and overprescribing. Management of the program moved there from the Georgia Drugs and Narcotics Agency.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

Georgia's 9-1-1 Medical Amnesty law (O.C.G.A. 16-13-5) protects a person who in good faith seeks medical help for an overdose, for themselves or someone else, from arrest and prosecution for certain minor drug possession offenses when the evidence comes solely from seeking help. It also covers some probation, parole and protective order violations tied to those offenses.

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.
