Family, rejection and recovery

Many LGBTQ people carry experiences of family rejection or strained relationships into treatment. Research on LGBTQ young people has linked family rejection with higher rates of substance use and depression, while family acceptance is protective.

Good programs make room for chosen family and offer family sessions when they help. Our guide on family rejection and recovery covers this in more depth.

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.

These state-level facts apply to everyone seeking LGBTQ drug rehab in Sandy Springs.

Who oversees treatment

The Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) licenses Drug Abuse Treatment and Education Programs and Narcotic Treatment Programs, a duty that moved to it from the Department of Community Health. Its Office of Addictive Diseases also funds substance use treatment providers.

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.
