Nearby cities to compare

Mental health and substance use together

Depression, anxiety and trauma often show up alongside substance use, and SAMHSA data show higher rates of mental illness among lesbian, gay and bisexual adults. Treating both at once usually works better than treating them separately.

If that sounds familiar, look at LGBTQ dual diagnosis treatment.

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.

Prescription monitoring

New York's prescription monitoring program is the PMP Registry (part of I-STOP, the Internet System for Tracking Over-Prescribing), run by the Department of Health's Bureau of Narcotic Enforcement. It gives prescribers access to patients' dispensed controlled substance histories.

Overdose Good Samaritan law

New York's 911 Good Samaritan law (Penal Law 220.78) protects a person who seeks help in good faith for an overdose, and the person overdosing, from prosecution for certain drug and paraphernalia possession offenses. Sale for money is excluded.

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.
