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.
How drug rehab works
Drug rehab usually starts with an assessment and detox if needed, then moves into residential or intensive outpatient therapy. For opioid use disorder, medications such as buprenorphine, methadone or naltrexone are the standard of care. For meth and cocaine, there's no approved medication, so behavioral therapies like contingency management do most of the work.
The programs on this page report drug detox or medication treatment along with an LGBTQ program or group.

Colorado rules and programs that affect treatment
These state-level facts apply to everyone seeking LGBTQ drug rehab in Denver.
Prescription monitoring
The Colorado PDMP is run by the Division of Professions and Occupations within the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA); it is the state's system for tracking controlled substance prescriptions.
Overdose Good Samaritan law
Colorado's 911 Good Samaritan statute gives immunity from arrest and prosecution for certain drug and alcohol possession offenses to a person who reports an overdose in good faith or helps the person in need, and to the person who overdosed, if they stay and cooperate with responders.
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.
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.
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.
Do these programs treat meth and party drugs?
Many do. Ask each program which substances it treats and how it approaches stimulants such as meth and cocaine, which are treated mainly with behavioral therapy.
