Being able to be yourself in treatment
Treatment works best when you can talk honestly about your life: your partner, your family, your gender, where and why you use. In a program that runs an LGBTQ group, those conversations are expected rather than awkward. Ask any program how staff are trained and how they handle names, pronouns and rooming.
See questions to ask an LGBTQ rehab before you commit.
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.

Call 866-825-1171Frequently asked questions
Where is the nearest LGBTQ drug rehab to Charleston, SC?
The nearest listed program is Ralph H Johnson VA Medical Center – Substance Trt and Recovery (STAR), about 3 miles from Charleston. Programs on this page report drug detox or medication treatment and an LGBTQ program or group.
What does it mean that a program reports an LGBTQ program?
Each listed facility told SAMHSA's national treatment survey that it offers a program or group specifically for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender or queer clients. It's self-reported, so ask the program how the group works and how often it meets.
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.
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.
