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.
Read our transgender rehab guide for more.
Party drugs and chemsex
Some people find their drug use is tied to nightlife, dating apps or sex. That's worth bringing up at intake; it affects triggers and relapse planning. A program with an LGBTQ group is more likely to have heard it before and to talk about it plainly.
Outpatient and IOP options near Boston
If you need to keep working or caring for family, outpatient care may fit. We list 38 programs within 25 miles of Boston that report intensive outpatient, day treatment or regular outpatient services. Intensive outpatient programs usually meet several days a week, and partial hospitalization runs most of the day while you sleep at home. See LGBTQ IOP and day programs.

Local health department
The Boston Public Health Commission is the city's health agency. It offers free naloxone to businesses and community groups, runs recovery events through its Recovery Services Bureau, and funds outreach linking people in high-overdose neighborhoods to treatment.
Drug and recovery court
The Boston Municipal Court runs recovery court (drug court) sessions in its Charlestown, Dorchester, East Boston, and South Boston divisions. These sessions offer an alternative to incarceration that combines supervised probation, required treatment, random drug testing, and regular status hearings before a judge.

Prescription monitoring
The Massachusetts Prescription Monitoring Program, accessed through the Massachusetts Prescription Awareness Tool (MassPAT), is run under the Department of Public Health and lets authorized prescribers and pharmacists check Schedule II-V prescription histories.

Using your insurance
Before you call a program, have your insurance card ready and ask three things: is the program in network, does this level of care need prior authorization, and what will you owe after the deductible. Our insurance guides walk through major carriers.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
Can I bring my partner or chosen family into treatment?
Many programs offer family sessions and let you define who counts as family. Ask at intake whether partners and chosen family can take part.
Will my information stay private?
Federal rules (42 CFR Part 2) give substance use treatment records extra confidentiality protections beyond standard health privacy law. Ask any program how it handles your records and who can see them.
Is medication used for drug addiction?
For opioid use disorder, yes: buprenorphine, methadone and naltrexone are standard treatments. For stimulants, no medication is FDA-approved, so therapy does the work.
Is there LGBTQ drug rehab inside Boston?
Yes. 2 programs in Boston itself are listed at the top of this page.
